Krausen after a few hours

[Ashman]

Ok I’ve not brewed before at this date in the year. I put a kit together this morning, boiled water and then chilled to 30C then re-oxygenated the water and added kit malt then left for s while but the temperature was slow to drop . Pitched Wilko ale yeast anyway quite high on the temperature range.

Now Krausen has appeared after a few hours! For me Krausen normally appears after 12 hours but that is for all grain. When does your Krausen normally appear?

Depends on the yeast, anywhere from 6 to 24 hours.

Thanks. I understand it’s Nottingham yeast. The inkbird temperature readings have dropped now - hoping it’s calmed down overnight.

Quickest I've had is about 3 hours, longest is 3 days - all depends on the type of yeast. MJs are notoriously slow to start.
