Denny,

As I said earlier I brewed your "Son of Dead Fish" recipe on the 5th. It
is still in primary with a good 2-3" of krausen foam on top. Is this to
be expected for that recipe. I pitched the wort on top of a good WLP001
starter in the fermentation freezer. The wort was around 77F and the
freezer is usually right at 64F. I had fermentation within 12hours.

I am not worried about this brew, just kinda checking to see that it
seems normal on this recipe for primary to run this long. OG was 1.060.

Ryan

Is it still really fermenting or is it just a layer of krauesen? either
way, it's only been 10 days...no big deal.

Didn't really figure it was a big deal. Can't tell you if it is still
actively fermenting or not. I primary in a 12 gallon food grade bucket
with loose fitting lid in a chest freezer with a temp controller. All I
can really do is crack the lid and see that there is foam on top. We are
planning on transferring to secondary Sunday no matter, need the primary
for the next one. I will grab a hydrometer reading then and see where it
sits.
