Why no krausen

Leave them in primary for weeks, check the gravity, and bottle. Now I'm wishing I would have tasted it! Thanks for the help and advice!

I'll feel much more comfortable on the next batch. Lessons I Learned: o Take Gravity readings during transfers o Don't rack to secondary till done fermenting in primary o Sediment good o No krausen can be alright so long as it DID ferment o Taste, taste, taste Any tips or advance for the secondary or the bottling stages are welcome. Alrighty, sounds good! After reading my posts over again, I really need to get a grip on my typing. LoL I didn't realize I was typing that poorly.
