OMG IT'S ALIVE! 2nd batch ever. Belgian Whitbier from midwest. I ALMOST put an airlock on. After reading some threads on this forum, I decided to play it safe and throw in the big boob tube...16 hours after fermentation started, I see this. I think it would have shot an airlock through the ceiling. lol
Fermenting with Safale T-58. Woke em up about 5 minutes before pitching. Pitched in 75 degree wort. I added 3 oz of fresh orange zest (no pith) at 5 min from navels. I also grabbed a rolling pin and took my aggression out on the pouch of coriander seeds. Took a taste of it after taking OG reading and had some bitterness up front and a very strong citrus/orange flavor, just what I was looking for. Hopefully it keeps those flavors through the fermentation process.
Thanks for everyone's help on this forum. Just getting into this hobby and I think I'm addicted. Cheers!
