Wyeast 1318 - krausen dropped in 2 days

[Jnick]

Brewed an American brown ale with homegrown dried chinook hops added at FWH, 30, 10 and 5 of a 90 minute boil. I pitched a 1 liter starter and had vigorous activity within 10 hours. The krausen only got to about 1 inch and completely dropped by day 2. Has anyone ever experienced this with 1318? Almost everything I’ve read said 1318 produces a large krausen that can take weeks to drop, if ever. Thanks

Starting gravity?

Will check when I get home but believe SG was 1.045, OG of 1.054. Pitched and held at 67 degrees. I’m still getting airlock activity but only about a burp every 5 seconds.

SG: 1.046 and OG: 1.063
