Folks, I never meant to get an argument started with this post. I tend to frame things in a historical perspective, so that's why I made the comment about our "ancestors." I probably could have said that better if I had been sober when I said it! Lol. Again, I'm not knocking ANYONES brewing...

Wow! Thanks EVERYONE for your replies. I'm not knocking anyone for how they break or what they brew, etc. We all love beer and we all love brewing. The diversity of our tastes and processes, etc, is a GOOD THING. I lean toward simplicity in this very complex world. But, that's just me.

Usually, with US05, my airlock stops bubbling within 48 hours and fermentation usually completes within 7 to 10 days (checked by hydrometer). I'm still...
