I made a 10 gallon batch of my normal simple wheat beer recipe on Friday, and did something a little different with the yeast. It is a WB-06 dry pack.
One carboy was dosed with a 1.5L starter's worth of liquid yeast, and also was oxygenated. I used a small amount from the dry pack to make the starter.
The other carboy was not oxygenated and I used the rest of the dry pack direct pitched (at least 90% of the pack)
Both appear to be chugging along fine, and the liquid one got going quicker (as expected) However, once both hit full tilt, the later one with the dry pack is noticeably more visually active. More churning and bigger krausen.
Any ideas why that might be? Temp and every other variable I can think of should be identical between both.
