Excellent, watched. 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?
