I pitched the yeast at 2:30 pm and then left the house for a crawfish boil. Got back to the house 4 hours later and the beer already had a krausen on it. I checked the gravity this morning, now 18 hours since pitching, and it is down to 1.030 from 1.051. Considering the estimate F.G. to be 1.010, this beer has reached 50% completion overnight.
That's pretty awesome. Once i move into our new home, i'll start brewing for enjoyment again.
Right now, i have to brew for necessity. I have 2 sours i HAVE to bottle before i move, so it's sort of a mad dash to get it done before we list the house. I did manage to bottle another one of my sours Saturday. Decided not to fruit this one. I took inventory of my entire bottled sour homebrew beer and i have about 60 bottles laying around.

Thats awesome though. I would love to have a constant inventory of something like an imperial stout. Thats like 2021 goals though
So not sure if anyone even noticed my last message on Saturday, but I just said screw it and let the starter run until I get back the next day. Pitched like 24 hrs after I finished brewing. Initially I was worried, but reading threads on homebrewtalk and r/Homebrewing have comforted me that it really didn't matter.
To the brew, I made a recipe that projected a 1.067 OG based on 70% efficiency, and I have never hit 70% efficiency... I got 1.071 OG, which is higher than I want it to be, but I am happy that I think I figured out my efficiency problems of the past and have corrected them. I have hop additions schedule for 2 days from now and 6 days from now. I mashed at a better and more consistent temp, and I made a legit starter... Overall I think I am getting better at this whole homebrewing stuff... Of course now that I said that, I am sure this one will be infected.
