MOVED FROM COMMENTS: first post from DoItUrslfJunky

In the future i will write all my days lab notes as separate entries, I'm just putting them all together today to catch up my posts with my notebook.

06-08-07
* Began first ferment, GAB060807AMB1,at 9:30pm. Mixed ingredients in 2 liter soda bottle. Only deviation is using "Quick Rise" yeast instead of normaly active baker's yeast.
83F.

06-09-07
* 10 am released CO2 pressure in GAB060807AMB1, the bottle has been sitting in indirect sunlight. Porch temp = 84F.

* Noticed very little head space in bottle, need to allot for that in future.

* 11:50 am had to loosen cap some more.

* Started new bottle of ginger beer at 7 pm tagged GAB060907AMB1. 83F It differs from GAB060807AMB1
-has a one way valve fermenter lock made from the decapitated pump of a 75 ml liquid soap dispenser.
- spring water used was cold from 20 hrs in the fridge when yeast was added.
-added 1 tbsp brown sugar to ingredients
-bottle was compressed some and had 2 in. head space.
