I just did a temp and gravity check. It looks great! Temp is 63F and gravity is at 1.026 (1.072 OG). Everything is on target for dry hop next week.

I seem to be having a very slow fermentation. I'm using a blowoff tube and it's not really bubbling at all. I popped the lid today after8 days. There's a layer of foam and it smells really good.

Wow. I inadvertently started agood thread. Lol. Anyway, my fermenter internal temp jumped to 76 this morning when I woke up and foam was in my airlock. Needless to say, a slow start led to a vigorous fermentation. I cooled it down to 66 now.

I made sunshower honey apple wheat on Monday. My first attempt at all grain. I nailed my conversion efficiency but my brew house efficiency was only about 64% because of wort loss etc. anyway, I pitched wyeast 1010 no starter out of the swelled package and before I realized it, my wort was still...

Thanks. I started finer but then I thought it was too floury. I will tighten it back up
