As a few of you know I just used wlp001 for the first time and made my first starter in a DIPA last week. Its my 10th or 11th batch and Ive never used anything but nottingham or windsor (twice). Today is day 5 in primary and its still bubbling every 8-10 seconds! Ive NEVER had bubbles this long after pitching. In fact I've never had any bubbles after 72 hours, so I'm very excited. The "head" right now is about 2 inches thick and looks really creamy and delicious. The fermentation so far has also seemed very controlled compared to the notty. It has been very steady bubbling compared to other times where the water in the airlock is literally being blown out. I don't know why I felt I needed to tell everyone, but I'm just really excited about this beer, and hoping to finally get something to be really proud of!
