Hi everyone,
I brewed a Honey wheat this past Thursday with great success. First all grain batch completely by myself and I hit 76% efficiency. I made a starter from WLP300 and I had airlock fermentation in two hours! I ferment in my basement which is normally 68 degrees throughout the year. We had a cold front come through last night and the temp dropped to 61 degrees. I was working so I had my wife wrap a blanket around the bucket last night around 7pm or so and at this point she said it looked completely normal. Well, I went downstairs to move the fermentation bucket back upstairs to warmer (more consistent) temps and this is what the airlock looks like! What in the world?? I switched it out with a new sanitized airlock but wanted to hear yalls thoughts.
Cheers
