I got some crazy fermentation going on @ day 5!

Just sharing...

I've got an IPA with Wyeast 1968 going in my carboy. I didn't see anything happen the first 3 days (well, a bubble here and there). But when I checked today (day 5), the thing is going nuts! The airlock is bubbling several times a second, and whats cool is I can see tons of stuff swirling around in the carboy. It's my 4th brew and I don't recall ever seeing stuff move around in the carboy before...

I guess since it didn't really start going til day 4 I'll let it sit in the primary a little longer than I was planning before bottle conditioning.

Yep, that'll happen. Was there a question in that post?

If not, seems like everything is going quite well. Enjoy that brew when it's ready!

Watching fermentation just never gets old. Congratulations on your brew!

My wife gives me crap because I'll sit and watch the fermentation....

Haha! my roommates do the same thing to me...the first thing I'll do in the morning is time the bubbling rate...

Its the first thing I do in the morning, and the last thing I do beofre I go to bed... watch those delicious bubbles. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy

LOL! I thought I was the only one. My wife and children make fun of me for watching by beer carbonate.

WORD! its like a soothing aquarium of ambrosia

I describe it as a living, breathing lava lamp.



This usually causes my wife to roll her eyes.

Thats too funny, I am constantly watching the bubbles, I usually use my bucket but i will use my carboy next and see more of a show.:rockin:

Yep, they put on quite a show but just remember they are watching you too so don't try any funny business
