Strange fermentation

[noob1979]

I am fermenting a dark honey oatmeal. I pitched red star dry wine yeast instead of a Brewers yeast. It's been 48 hours. I now have fermentation with no real krausen.

Is this how wine yeasts act, or am o missing something?

This is typical of some wine yeasts. Montrachet only produces a thin layer of bubbles.

That explains it. Thank you I am using Montrachet.
