An ominous start to making this batch of Hilo Red-I broke the hydrometer and could not find our backup airlock. Not to fear, Michael o'neilled (o'neilled-synonym of macgivered-to fabricate out of materials at hand) a custom airlock seen here. It works perfectly and has a soothing ringing effect as the glass jar beneath the can tings against it during the fermentation process. Oh the smell of highly hopped wort . . .Concerned about the island stout. Fermentation took 30 hours to commence and stopped after 36 hours. Will transfer to secondary fermentor this weekend and cross our fingers.
