I’ve switched to WHC due to a small
saving, but the first go with LAX has ended up with the slowest ferment I’ve had since my kit days 12 years or so ago.

All stages were all standard for me, normally it’s all over in 2-5 days with US-05, M44 or such like.

Anybody else had issues?
 
I used LAX in a blonde I needed a quick turnaround for a party and I was grain to glass in 12 days with a FG of 1.008. SG was only 1.040 though so that might have had an influence.
 
Well it turned out clean great so a slow burn but a clean yeast.
