Fermentation notes from ClintonEbadi:

 . `2010-12-07 00:05` @ 71°F: Bubbling occasionally, thin krausen formed over ¾ of the wort surface
 . `2010-12-07 01:41` @ 71°F: Bubbling once every 3-4 seconds. Solid krausen covering entire wort surface.
 . `2010-12-07 03:05` @ 70°F: Bubbling once every 3-4 seconds. Krausen is at least an inch thick. Putting water into tray and wetting tshirt to reduce to primary fermentation temperatures.
 . `2010-12-07 12:56` @ 66°F: Bubbling twice per second. Krausen is over two inches thick.
 . `2010-12-07 15:15` @ 65°F: Bubbling rapidly. Krausen has grown further, and the wort is visibly churning.
 . `2010-12-07 16:05` @ 66°F: Bubbling rapidly. Krausen has grown visibly.
 . `2010-12-08 01:27` @ 65°F: Bubbling once per second. Krausen appears stable, and the wort is continuing to churn. Adding more water to the tray and resoaking tshirt.
 . `2010-12-08 13:09` @ 63°F: Bubbling once per second. Wort activity has lessened. Target temperature undershot by a degree.
 . `2010-12-08 17:42` @ 62°F: Bubbling once per second. Krausen has begun to recent. Water on tshirt has evaporated. Still under the ideal temperature, but within the range for Ringwood.
 . `2010-12-08 19:50` @ 62°F. Replacing wet shirt with dry shirt, and removing from water tray to prevent a further drop in temperature.
 . `2010-12-09 03:00` @ 64°F: Bubbling once every other second. Krausen has diminished significantly. Ideal temperature reached again.
 . `2010-12-09 12:00` @ 66°F: Bubbling once every other second. Still in ideal temperature range.
 . `2010-12-09 17:40` @ 66°F: Bubbling once every other second.
 . `2010-12-09 23:50` @ 67°F: Bubbling once every three seconds. Krausen is about ½ inch thick.
 . `2010-12-10 14:45` @ 68°F: Bubbling once every three seconds. Krausen has mostly dissipated.
 . `2010-12-10 20:23` @ 68°F: Bubbling once every four seconds.

Notes from ClintonEbadi:

  • Presently fermenting. Observations:
  • 2010-11-12 04:30 Fermenter @ 71⁰F. Airlock not yet bubbling, but a slight shaking results in gas release

  • 2010-11-12 11:08 Fermenter @ 71⁰F. Airlock bubbling once per second. This is a very good sign. Starting cooling process with a bit of water in tray but fan on the lowest setting.

  • 2010-11-12 17:52 Fermenter @ 73⁰F. Krausen has entered the airlock! Incredibly active fermentation. Light cooling ineffective (too much heat release), and so stepping up the fan to its full speed.

  • 2010-11-12 20:48 Fermenter @ 71⁰F. The lid has popped off from the amount of gas being produced! Reseating lid and replacing airlock fluid with boiled water.

  • 2010-11-12 23:50 Fermenter @ 68°F. Cleaned and replaced airlock earlier (using cheap vodka, sorry J Hitz). It seems the fermentation has settled a bit. Airlock bubbling twice per second.

  • 2010-11-13 13:15 Fermenter @ 66°F. Airlock bubbling once per second. Removing fan to let it heat back up to around 68⁰F.

  • 2010-11-15 13:34 Fermenter @ 68°F. Temperature has stabilized here. Attenuation is winding down.

  • 2010-11-17 14:22 Fermenter @ 70°F. Airlock bubbling twice per minute.
