Hey, just wanted to share. This is my 5th batch of extract with specialty grain. So far I have been using Us-05 so that's my benchmark. I'm used to pitching the yeast, then waiting an excruiciating 12 hours for a sign of life from it.
This time I went with a german dunkel, so I got WB-06, for wheat beers. Pitched literaly 3 hours ago, then went on the computer. All of a sudden I hear a loud bubbling sound comming from the fermentor. Now it's bubbling every couple of minuets. I didn't think such a thing is possible. Temperature may also have something to do with it. It used to be very hot where I life, around 80 degrees. Now it's closer to fermenting temperature, around 75 degrees.
I also pitched higher than I useally do. I useally pitch at 77 degrees but today I tried pitching at 86 degrees.
Anyways just wanted to share. Anyone else with simular experiances? What are your thoughts?
