Krausen gone.

briffster · Nov 16, 2014

Hi all. New to the forum so apologies as this kind of post will have already been asked.
Anyway...I have started my second brew and it's a Woodfordes wherry. Within 24 hours a had a nice krausen on top, between 48-72 it has gone right down to vanishing point. Is this ok??. My first brew has krausen for about a week.
Thanks

It may still be fermenting. Best to test a sample with hydrometer or just carefully see if any bubbles are rising from the bottom

Thanks for reply. There are still bubbles coming up. Just seemed quick for the krausen to go. Cheers

It can go quite quickly, if temperature fluctuates a bit it can make it sink quicker. Wherry is best left for two weeks and then for the last three days of the two weeks take a few readings to check it's done.

What temp did you ferment at. If you fermented too hot the krausen disappears quickly
