Any fermentation fans (fanatics?) here?

From an hour ago Its got brewers yeast in but the yeast is very old so

I bet the yeast is probably still ok...hope it gets good and fermenty! Might take a couple of days, depending on your temperatures there. Have you had sourdough pancakes? I'm thinking about making some when the starter perks back up. And sourdough cinnamon rolls.

I just loosely set the lid on top, not tight. You could also cover with something breathable, like a cloth, so bugs can't get in. This is an aerobic ferment, so should get some air.

Ok thats what I did(loose on top)
btw when I said it was old, I meant old expired in '13 kind of old

So I looked up brewers yeast and it says its deactivated, and you cant prove it like bread yeast. Is there a way to tell if the yeast is still viable?

So how do you make your dark beer?

LOL...I bet it'll still be active. Even if not, you should still have wild yeast activity.

OK
