Thanks for the advice. I've got the bucket in the kitchen, on top of the counter. I double wrapped the top with cling wrap then covered the plastic with foil to seal it better. It's pretty warm (78-80) and fermented quickly. I was a little worried about not having the yeast to carbonate. Could...

It's been a couple years since I was brewing regularly and I've just jumped back into it. I have a wit-style that has been in primary for 15 days and got down to 1.008 so I transferred to bottling bucket, let it settle, and began brewing my next batch. After finishing literally every other part...
