Looking for feedback on my first attempt at using washed yeast. I washed the Wyeast 1056 out of the primary from a batch that fermented very aggressively (88% attenuation). Washed once with distilled water, got a nice clean sample. Used a jar of washed yeast with about 60ml of solids (2 weeks old), poured off clear liquid, and made starter with a pint of sterile wort at a SG of 1.044. Good active fermentation evident within a couple of hours. Pitched after about 6 hours into wort at 1.057. Slow start to fermentation, and continues at a very slow but steady pace. I am concerned because this yeast isn't developing the high krausen and level if fermentation that was apparent with the first use. Does this all sound normal?
