I have a beer in fermentation, I used the following in preparing the wort.
6# dme, Pilsen style
1oz of amarillo hops
1oz of ginger

I pitched in the low 70s with wyeast 3726. I placed the carboy in the hot water bath because this strain likes heat. 24 hours in i noticed I had a thin krauzen. Now there is no krauzen. The fermentation is active, but I wanted to be sure I should not worry about the krauzen.

Thoughts?
 
I've used this yeast for three beers now, and haven't noticed much krausen, but then again, I wasn't looking for it. I've also been fermenting in the 60s (I keep the apartment cold in the winter) and been getting plenty of flavor and good attenuation as well. Can't wait to try this strain once it warms up.
