I'm currently on day 11 of fermentation using Wyeast 1272 and the krausen hasn't fallen yet. I'm fermenting in my basement so the fermometer is reading around 66 or so. I had a very bubbly krausen to start, it fell down to nothing within a day or two leaving some light bubbles on the surface, and then grew back up to about an inch high and very creamy. It's now at about a quarter to a half inch and just hanging. It's still very creamy, bubbles coming through the blowoff tube every 18-19 seconds. Is this typical for a low fermentation temp on this yeast? I don't even want to take a hydrometer reading until the krausen drops.
I should also mention that the blowoff tube fell out of the sanitizer the first night. No idea how many hours it was out. I got it back in the next morning.
