No Krausen

[Brew Cat]

I mostly ferment in a stainless Brew bucket so don't see what's going
A resent lager yeast repitch has a normal fermentation but no Krausen
The beer before it built up a krausen
Any ideas?

You sure there wasn't one? Once it goes down you might not see it ever was

there was a low one maybe 1/4" but this same yeast usually has a higher one
Im not worried just thought it odd

Lager yeast do not produce much of a krausen as most ale yeasts. Lager yeast flocculate down, where as some ale yeast first flocculate up (there's a joke in there) before finally dropping out, the yeast that come to the top create a massive krausen. Since lager yeast just drop out, the krausen is less and far more manageable.

Everything is totally fine, your lager yeast are doing what they always do.

Yeasts of a feather flocc together.
