I recently brewed a double IPA w/ OG of 1.091. After aerating well, I pitched two separate starters of Wyeast 1272 and 1968 simultaneously. Within 12 hours, the airlock was spewing krausen, and a blowoff tube was installed. After about 36 total hours, when no foam was being expelled, I replaced the blowoff with an airlock. After 24 hours of uneventful, standard fermentation, the beer began spewing krausen through the airlock again. I replaced the blowoff hose once more.
MY QUESTION TO YOU:
Is it possible for a beer to reach high krausen, die down, then have a second high krausen? Did I just assume the krausen had ended prematurely? I ended up placing a mixed dry hop charge of 1 oz cascade and 1.5 oz centennial with the purpose of Biotransformation of hop oils, as I was reinstalling the blowoff tube.
