Well. Swmbo called me at work in a panic, didn't think anything of it, got home and it indeed blew the airlock and stopper out a bit and was hissing... so I pulled it out and yeast splattered all over my face, a few moments later a yeast snake started coming out of my better bottle at about an inch a second, this was an hour ago and hasn't stopped yet... it was a 1.075 ipa with about a 1.5L starter, and the starter was only going for prolly 8 hours on the stir plate... props to the yeast. Now I smell like yeast and need to be on clean up duty tomorrow... my ferm fridge looks like swamp thing exploded

What did you get for attenuation? I just used1098 for the first time and got 85% which seems high compared to what Wyeast recommends

Honestly, i can't recall off the top of my head. i think it went from 1.075ish to 1.010? it's been over a year though, my brain is a bit fuzzy

I really enjoy having a brewing journal to keep track of everything, BasicBrewing.com has a great one that i use
