Krausen question

[Jalapenjoe]

Hello all,
I’ve brewed a pale ale and the krausen hasn’t fallen it’s been 3 weeks, I’ve taken a reading and the gravity is 1.011 just as I was aiming for according to the recipe, I’m not sure whether to keg it or wait till the krausen falls, advice would be most appreciated

If it was me i would give it a gentle shake, i find that will break the crust and it drops

Have you dry hopped it as it looks like hop residue on the top with yeast.
I would give it a gentle top stir with out putting any oxygen in it and then cold crash it for a couple of days

Yeah I did a dry hop, going to give it a stir and hope all goes well

Patience.

A gentle stir, cold crash, time and gravity should work wonders.

"Old ways" involve ladling out the beer with a half pint mug and straining out any cones of dry-hops with your teeth, in our house. Then I got bucket with tap and life was transformed.

So thats how you do your old vintage ale recipes, the secret is out now

Little shake of the fermenter did the trick, beer is now in keg conditions!

Luxury, I had to brew in a cardboard box on the fast lane of the M62.
