Has it started?
Woke up this morning eager to see if any signs of fermentation were happening. The lid was bulging a bit, so I pressed it slightly. A few bubbles, but nothing spectacular.
I was being a bit impatient. Did I aerate enough?
The temp. was around 67. I did something (potentially) dumb: I hooked up a heater next to my bucket. The air temp quickly rose to about 71 and the airlock began bubbling like mad. I thought better and turned it off. The bubbling subsided shortly there after.
The airlock seemed to be sucked all the way down and looked like it was pulling water back into the bucket.
Maybe I should just leave well enough alone.
The setup. A perfect little spot for making beer.
