No Krausen

[Diggs]

Possibly I did don but they were very small and weak in comparison to this if you could call them a krausen at all

sorry mate, that wasnt intended at you, it was at the op claiming to have no krausen

your photo looks great, love the clump of hops floating in the krausen

i wish my computer had a scratch and sniff option, i'd be scratching your photo like i scratch my balls when i've run out of work

All good don, I gave up getting upset at online forums years ago - I'm pretty thick skinned about it these days.

PS - As soon as I open the fridge I am whacked with a beautiful beery hoppy smell - hopefully it tastes as good as it smells. First shot at dry hopping as well.

Just a thought about building a big krausen - isn't it similar to head retention.
as the CO2 bubbles out of the surface the bubble would burst if the wort is thin and watery
and hold firm if wort is thick and syrupy. I've noticed much higher krausen
on my dark heavy stouts compared to light pilseners.

So to my totally untrained mind lack of krausen might just indicate a beer with very low body.

Why do wait until you've run out of work to scratch your balls?

Do you find you scratch your left or right ball more

Hey Robbo, my last beer was a Porter starting at about 1070 or so (not sure off top of my head) and it had bugger all on it.

This beer was a Blonde Ale starting at 1046, much lighter but way bigger Krausen.

EDIT: Hang on that supports what you are saying :???:
