Although I don't have any bottled yet, I could have a Port Wipeout or Mongo if I so desired now that they distribute to NJ
But I digress, my 2nd batch is a PM variation of Denny Conn's Bourbon Vanillla Porter.
Here's the recipe:
5 lbs. Light DME
Grains:
2.5 lbs. Munich 10L
1.5 lbs. 2-Row
1.0 lbs. Amber malt
1.0 lbs Caramel 120
0.75 lbs chocolate malt
0.5 lbs caramel 45
I pitched 1.5 packets of re-hydrated Safale US-05 and had vigorous airlock bubbling in less than 12 hours. That went on for about 48 hours.
Woke up this AM - no airlock acitivity and no krausen (didn't open the bucket but popped the airlock and peeked through the grommeted hole, got a whiff of the brew and it smells awesome). Ambient temp in the room is low to mid 60's. Yeast was re-hyrdrated in 80° water (then sat for 1 hour prior to pitching) and the wort was at 70° at time of pitching.
I'm very hesitant to open up and do a gravity reading this early.
My OG prior to aeration and pitching was 1.082 and estimated FG is 1.021.
Is it possible that the yeast blew through the fermentables already?
