I notice the guy test ran a "bug" (interesting phrasing) and fermented that further. Reminds me, some tutorials I read added the step of putting the yeast in 55°C water... does this speed up the activation? I once made amazake (sweet fermented rice beverage), and at 55°C it was done in 12 hours. Very low alcohol due to such a short fermentation time and the usage of koji rather than yeast... or not?
As of right now, the bubbles have slowed. Only sporadic bubbles are seen on the top, and a yeast cake has formed on the bottom of the bottle. Could it really be finished so soon? My question at this stage is, when do I pop it in the fridge?
