now that is really cool :-D

Nice , eh? Even nicer when you think that each bubble plays its part toward another tiny bit of booze existing in your wine

Yeah, those bubbles are cool - its even cooler watching them just slide up the side of the glass carboy to the top. I used to do that too, but I don't do that too much anymore. Enjoy. Darlene

or how they gather in an almost intelligent-like way at the top.

cool, I have minions doing my bidding. now i need to get my mad scientist lab coat out.

Hmmmm, aren't those bubbles coming from flatulent yeast critters?

:)

My wife used to think all the bubbles were really neat, until I pointed out that each bubble was effectively a yeast fart...

I've currently got 2 lots of 5 gallons in primary, one just racked to secondary. All plopping away rapidly. I'm a bit concerned because they are in the garage attached to the house.....the garage door is rubber sealed, and the access door to the house has a smoke seal around it. As the cat lives in the garage I'm wondering how many more I can get going before she gets asphyxiated........!

I agree completely. I enjoy watching them and listening to them. My favorite carboy is a 2.5 gallon carboy that is conical in shap with the large end at the bottom. As the bubbles rise they hit the sides and the rise allong the sides so I get to watch the bubbles come up the sides and then bubble and gurgle out the airlock. I could swear that I can hear the hiss as they slide up the sides. Then most people say I am just wierd.

Hell, I think "Lava Lamps" are still cool.

I dont doubt you. I believe i heard the same thing. you could definetly hear the hiss in the primary

And I can swear I heard a primary groan through the must cap before...

Yeah, but the stuff in Lava Lamps tastes terrible!

Not if it's aged properly. I have a 1959 Orange Lava Lamp that is quite exquisite. Goes well with pizza or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
