Pitched: 11/14/2013 OG 1.080 @ ~68F
Secondary: 11/30/2013 SG 1.026
Kegged: 1/12/2014 FG 1.026

Notes: I fermented the primary in the cellar at a temperature of 52-58F depending on the day. There was very vigorous initial action and then solid bubbling for another week or so. The secondary is in the garage at a temperature fairly close to the air temperature, but clad in a sleeping bag for some extra insulation. The liquid is hovering around 40F.
