Anyone ever have a batch that the krausen refuses to subside? I have an AG batch (Belgium Wit, WLP400 Belgium Yeast, no candy sugar) that I pitched into the primary 18 days ago; racked after 7 with a thick krausen. It started growing again in the secondary two inches thick. It's been in there now for 11 days and shows no sign of going away. Gravities as follows:
Day 0: OG - 1.050
Day 7: 1.025 (Racked to secondary)
Day 18: 1.016 (secondary sample - tastes great)
Desired FG: 1.012 (ProMash)
Was planning on bottling it up this Sat but history has stated wait til she falls & the airlock is basically done. So, if I hit my FG with a dead airlock do I bottle anyways or let it sit longer until it drops? I got more beer to make but can only ferment one at a time in summer (fermentation chiller).
Could always move it to a vessel with water and some ice in the house so I can get the next batch going this Saturday but just never experienced this before. Need to check the airlock; haven't stared at that in a couple of days.
