Checkpoint

Batch #1 was checked, noticed that it was not as active as I would have liked, so added a bit of nutrients and a pinch of MgSO4, and stirred. It's back to one bubble every 3 seconds after equalibriating. pH 4.6 by the way, so no vinegar being produced, which is good. It was at SG 1.020, so it is only a few pips from dry (~.990). I am not going to open it again until activity ceases or becomes incredibly slow, as I definitely don't want O2 in there at this stage.

Batch #2 is bubbling away as before, if a bit slower. Did not open it up. Will check in the morning and add sugars if the SG is low enough.

Pax Vobiscum
