Hey all,

We recently threw a scottish 60/- in the fridge, using S-04 at 64F. It bubbled away for a few days with a krausen. This morning it had it, but 8 hrs later its gone. The yeast is still bubbling away, making the wort/beer look kinda effervescent. There are what I can only assume are yeast rafts floating on the top, moving around from the fermentation. The wort/beer itself is still churning away.

Anybody else experience this? I'm not at all concerned its just kinda strange, we've always had the krausen last to the end or even after fermentation is finished.
 
Agreed, very normal. The activity you see now if more than likely the yeast cleaning up after themselves with a little bit of CO2 coming out of solution.
