It's a 5 gallon batch and honestly - I'm impressed with the lutra. I couldn't bring myself to not have a starter, so made one on Wednesday, and it kicked off within an hour with a lovely white frothy top, and the starter was completely inert after 24 hours ...
The recipe is an experiment really - super simple and like the starter, the 5 gallons kicked off within an hour and blew the airlock off around the 3 hour mark. It's bubbling politely now, and looking a lot like it'll be done and dusted in a couple of days.
If it lives up to the hype about clean fermenting, I'm sold.
can't wait to hear more!
