3/15/15 - Pitched at 9p. Aerated for 10 minutes, until a thin froth covered the entire surface.
3/16/15 - Evidence of positive pressure at 8 hours. Krausen had formed by 20 hours. Indicated 62F with a room temperature of 59F. Unseasonable warm weather has prevented the furnace from running and the basement is cooling significantly.
3/17/15 - Still happily fermenting along. Good, stable krausen and rolling ferment. Indicated 62F in a 60F room.
3/18/15 - Still fermenting nicely, krausen slightly receded. I draped a dish towel over the carboy in an effort to slightly raise the temperature. Indicated 62F, room 60F.
3/22/15 - Transferred to secondary. Still some activity as it finishes.
5/19/15 - Bottled with 5oz corn sugar. Yielded 23x22oz and 6x12oz. |
