Quick start

[Steve Ruch]

Pitched a pack of farmhouse dry yeast into 3.25 gallons at 1.052 this morning. 10 hours later it was burping through the airlock every 3.5 seconds.

Any of the farmhouse strains are fast acting; sort of the busybodies of the yeast world.

I can imagine they gossip amongst themselves. More like washwomen.

Burping every two seconds this morning.

Just wait, if you raise the temp (76-80F) it'll be done in 24 hrs and be super tasty to boot!

It's been riding at 76 Sunday, Monday, and so far today and still burping every 8 seconds.

I got similar results with a 4+ month old pack of Imperial A09 Pub yeast. I used some of the sparge runoff to make a Real Wort Starter (RWS). I pitched after about 8 hours on the stir plate. I checked first thing the next morning and had similar airlock activity. I'm going to try a RWS for my next few brews to see if I get that result every time.
