Nice and light might be along the lines of a 4-6% abv, which could potentially be done that quickly. A 10%, probably not. What sort of thing were you looking to do?

The recipe sounds fine to me. mildly surprised that you're not hearing activity, though not impossible I suppose. *If* anything was a problem, it would be bad yeast. What's the current reading?

Tibbs.... doesn't have the greatest instructions. You do want everything cooler, but not fridge temp. I had to rotate my bucket in and out to try to maintain a cool 50ish temp as well as 70 when I...
