So I used this yeast for a smoked brown porter on Sunday, pitched it at about 9:30pm and it seems to be almost finished and settled to the bottom already. No more krausen. Is this normal for this yeast? My SG was 1.051 and I made a small pint sized starter.
Another side question. I'm using a carboy hood (the orange kind) with a thermowell for temp. controlling. It doesn't seem to make nearly as tight a seal as a rubber stopper and I never got any activity in the airlock. Should I be concerned about oxygen leaking in.
Thanks for your help!
