So this past weekend I brewed a batch of barleywine.
While it was boiling I racked a pale ale out of primary and into secondary leaving its yeast behind for the barleywine to go into...
This is the result: a crazy, violent fermenting mass that looks and smells amazing:

I have never seen a primary take off so quickly (within 90 minutes) or ferment so visibly.
Specs:
OG 1.103
temp: 74 F
yeast: WYeast 1056 from slurry
oxygenated with pure, filtered oxygen for 3 minutes
Insane Fermentation

It has been slow around hasn't it? BTW I couldn't get the QuickTime thing to function, so I'm missing out on your violent primary

Cool clip. That one is really cranking! I've seen the Wyeast Activatir take off with Belgian yeasts, but this one takes the cake!
