Ok Day 3 in the new Fermentation Chamber (Chest Freezer).
I've noticed that every time I open it I get a nice "Wafting" of fermentation and beer aroma!
Tonight as I couldn't tell if it was bubbling down there, I stuck my head into the Chest Freezer to get a better look. As my Nose went below the edge of the Freezer I just happened to breath in as I expected nice odors... To my SHOCK!!! It was like a dose of Mustard Gas as it felt like it was burning my nose hair!!
I momentarily thought the odor might have killed off the fermentation, but then thought better as the air valve would have procluded any of that getting back into the Brew bucket and there should have been plenty of O2 in suspension for the yeasties to consume.
So all is well but my nose hairs, thank goodness I didn't take a huge inhale!! That stuff is POTENT!
