WYEAST 1332 Northwest Ale

[Tcl1999]

I don't brew many American styled beers, but when I do I use this yeast.

You should have followed that up with "stay thirsty my friends"

Seriously though, I think it probably is due to warmer temps. I don't have any temp control so it is 72-74 most of the time.

So this yeast is pretty strange. I had an explosion on day 1 which almost blew out the bubbler but quickly receded, then slowed considerably for day two, then it picked up around day 4 and is still going strong late into day 5. Like one bubble per second strong. Never seen anything like it. Since it is in a bucket I can't tell what is going on but it smells normal. Weird yeast.

Im having trouble getting this one to start fermenting. Anyone else experience this?

Not with Northwest. Sometimes I have had to wait over 24 hours for a yeast to kick off, especially in a cooler garage.

It finally kicked off after about 48 hrs. I was worried for a bit. The Chipotle stout is on it's way.

Hey everyone, I've got the same results with this strain. Krausen hasn't dropped yet and it's been three weeks. The blow off is still bubbling but I have to secondary anyways to dry hop. If it hasn't quite finished yet is it OK to transfer and dry hop?
