Thanks Ashdoes. I thought with the heat and possible bugs I will keep mine inside for now. Is in a small container, but it might outgrow its container!! Kinda scary! Doesn;t help that I had to add some more water and mother vinegar last night, and then again a small amount this morning, so it is completely covered. Lesson one, use a bigger container!!!Pozees gave a great answer. The first sitting could take up to three days, although its warm right now, so it should go faster. The wetter mine is the faster and more vigorously it bubbles, then I add dry till I like the thickness. I keep mine outside right now, and am hoping to keep it outside this winter as well. I really hated dragging it in and out, and I dislike the smell in the house.
