Hi all. I brewed a porter this weekend and pitched it with WLP023 Burton Ale yeast on Sunday night. I miscalculated and ended up with an extra gallon of wort, so I split the batch between a 5-gallon carboy and a 1-gallon glass jug to ferment. By Monday morning both containers were chugging along nicely with a beautiful thick krausen on top of each. This morning (Tuesday) I came downstairs and the krausen is still an inch thick on the one-gallon jug, but the krausen was gone on the 5-gallon carboy. They're both still burping the airlocks steady and I can see bubbles and things moving around inside both containers. I'm worried because there was an ant trail on the side of the big container and even though I feel confident that they couldn't have gotten in, I am still a little puzzled. Do you think I underpitched the 5-gallon? Or am I overthinking this? (PS, I moved it to an ant-free location because they were definitely underage)
