Fermentation well underway after 18 hours. 1" blowoff tube in Big Mouth Bubbler is great! 66 degrees. 3 bubbles/sec. |

Fermentation seems to have stopped after 36 hours! No bubbling evident. After 3 days, at 9:15 on 4/25, decided to pitch more yeast. All I had on hand was a packet of Danstar Belle Saison. Not exactly porter material, but what the heck. Temp 63F. Also added 1 qt. fermented "dregs" from starter flask residue and wort. |

4.5 oz table sugar dissolved in 4 oz beer (from FG sample) plus 4 oz water. Primed in 6.0 gal for target CO2 level of 2.3 volumes. 28 bottles@22 oz + 2@16 for total packaged amount of 648 oz or 5.1 gallons. |

Now that I see the FG was on target, makes me wonder if some CO2 was leaking out of the fermenter gasket and not the airlock. |

Only 17 days after bottling: Very cloudy; tons of sediment. off taste from Belgian yeast. |

Much improved after more time in bottle. Sediment will bubble up off the bottom shortly after opening, so the trick is to pour it quickly. It is actually quite good, having lost the Belgian funk. |
