Fluffy white Krausen

[dbrowning]

Ive never had Krausen like this
Saison with 3711 French Saison yeast
top layer of Krausen ( an uneven 1 1/2") is fluffy white, looks like dishwashing detergent (It is most deffinately not)
Everything else looks normal
Looks like a whirlpool inside
Continuous blowoff
Temp has risen from 68 to 70 since pitching yesterday

I think we have just found a name for this beer.....FWK for short.

I like it!

The white foam went away after a couple of days
Still has 2" creamy of white/tan krausen
More like I normally see
Was the white foam from Candi Syrup?

Doubt it. But who knows. Might be nothing, just weird fermentation stuff. What kind/brand of candi syrup did you use?

Don't want to freak you out but could be infected. You said you dumped the syrup into the fermenter at the last minute? Did you sanitize the syrup container? Beer infecting stuff can make big krausen too. It's possible 2 things are fermenting your beer, not just 3711.

It's PROBABLY not the case, but if it turns out funkier then normal for 3711, then you will know why. If so then for future reference, sanatize the syrup container, and also don't dump it in until 3 days into fermentation when krausen starts to fall, because at that point your at 2%+ alcohol and a PH level that bugs don't like. But at yeast pitching time, everything likes your wort.
