Nightcap

Batch #1 is still bubbling at one burp per 10 seconds. I'll let those monks pray until there is no noticeable activity, then uncap and check it.

Batch #2 was measured at 1.020 SG, 20C, pH 3.8, producing gas at one burp every 3 seconds or so. Added 1.7kg of sugar directly, without inverting in four portions over about 10 minutes, along with DAP and yeast energizer. The yeast have had a "Oh brother, wtf?" moment, and are currently readjusting to their new environment, now at SG 1.032. The monks are still praying, but at a very low rate; hopefully they will be back to their happy selves by the morning.

Heater turned on to low, as 20C is a few degrees lower than I would like to see, at this point.

I will definitely be working on constant addition methods.. this stepped addition method shocks the monks too much.
