Hello all
I made a couple batches on Sunday, the notty batch is doing the usual foam overflow, the Safale us05 has great bubbler action that started a few hours before the notty, but minimal foam.
Are notty and safale us05 the same? Is it normal for great bubbler activity but minimal foaming with us05? I have usually used coopers or muntons, been trying some others lately.
Not really concerned, both seem to be moving right along, just curious.
Also, I have read that raising temps on us05 after the first week or so helps the yeast to clean up, what about notty, would it be adviseable to raise the temp on both after a week or so? Are temps raised after activity slows down as a general rule with ale yeasts? Do I wait for SG to stabilize first? Fermenter temps are low to mid 60's currently.
