This yeast is slow to get crankin'. I can see some positive pressure but it's not bubbling really at all.

so probably took 3 days to really get going and even after that it was pretty slow to get going hard.  although part of that may have been a leak in my setup that was causing the airlock not to bubble as hard as I'm used to.

I know, I know.  Last batch turned out good though.  My cheapness may be going too far though LOL

3 might be a good compromise for 10 gallons

I almost did it.  good news is that it's going at a good clip now based on how quickly the spunding valve is blowing off.  I'm letting a natural temp rise happen right now and it's in the upper 50s (still in the optimal temp range for this yeast).  pretty soon I might have to force the temp up to keep it going on my accelerated maturation schedule.

I think this is almost done. I've ramped the temp up to about 64f and the pressure is up to about 30psi inside and not going up very much. I'll check the gravity today.

a little yeasty right now but hot damn!  I forgot how much I love vienna lager.
