This batch was always a bit different from my others. Then again this is the first time I ever used liquid yeast (WYEAST 2112 Cal. Lager). This batch (a 2-gallon batch) never bubbled and foamed as much as my other batches and its fermentation was less turbulant. Had a thin layer of krausen which after eight days has dissipated leaving a thin layer of grainy bubbles whereas my other batches the krausen got old but stayed thick (at least 1/2 an inch).
I forgot to sanitize the yeast package when I opened it so I folded it shut and did a brief dunk in sanitizer and then pitched.
Don't know if wyeast is less foamy that dry yeast. It *did* ferment and form a small krausen layer but compared to my other batches (including one using yeast cultivated from a ginger root) it was never as vivacious.
