I've got a 5gal extract batch of a Baltic porter kit I picked up from my LHBS. now I don't have any way to keep it at lagering temps, so I pitched it with WY1056 in a brew bucket and tried to keep the room around 60°-65° (F). Got great airlock activity and after 2 weeks was still burping about every 5 seconds. I had to leave for work for 3 weeks the next day so I decided to leave it alone instead of racking to secondary. I plan to rack to a keg when I get home and cold crash for a couple days in a keggle packed with snow. Then rack to another keg, carb, and drink. After reading several posts about primary times I'm wondering what I'm going to be coming home to in a week and a half after its sat in the primary for 5 weeks. Took an OG of 1.097 before pitching the yeast and haven't cracked the lid to take another sample since.
