Honey's Going

9:30 am
well into the fermenatation. lots of activity. Temps steady at about 68F with the heater on throughout the night

7:09 pm
whoa, really fermenting now... maybe i should have used the 6.5 gallon.

9:33 pm
hmm, now i'm worried. the krausen is getting close to the airlock.

had it, too much foam and was worried about it blowing of the top. So I swapped the airlock with the blowoff tube and the bottling bucket. first sanitized the tube with bleach and ran hot water through it. then filled the bottling bucket. did a quick swap - was thinking the airlock would blow off as i released the pressure but it didn't, thank goodness. shoved the tube in, gave it a good push and it seems to be working. bubbles blowing quite regularly into the bucket.
