I could smell it faintly from the top of the stairs this morning. After 24 hours the little bugs are very active. There is a very nice blanket of CO2 and a firm cap. I knocked a spider into the must by accident when punching down. She (don’t female spiders eat male ones?) hit the CO2 blanket and was instantly out cold. (Yes, I scooped her out.)
Must temperatures:
small = 73ºF
larger = 71.5ºF
73-75ºF air temperature around fermentors.
