3 days later

So after three days the yeast had not started doing its job.  Fermentation had not started in the bucket downstairs in the basement.  I’d taken today off because my wife had an interview and I’ve got some vacation days to burn, so a trip to the local home-brew shop was in order.  I purchased a fresh vial of White Labs Irish Ale yeast.

When we got home I went downstairs to swap some laundry around, and the airlock went BURP.

It knew I had brought reinforcements.
