The yeast has moved out of the lag phase, and is reproducing like mad. I gave it some shaking, last night, and this morning, to keep the aerobic phase going a little longer, but from here on out they are on their own.

The water-lock is bubbling at about 1cc per second (guesstimated) and there is a pleasant tang to the smell carried in the outgassing. When I gave it a shake there was a fair bit of CO2 released from solution, and I can see bubbles rising all over the surface.

So there will be mead.

I suppose I ought to make a brewing icon, so people will know if they want to skip discussions of fungus.
