Things are bubbling away nicely with the cider. A little too nicely, even.. the dry cider - the one with the montrachet yeast - kinda went crazy and bubbled up hard enough to push against the bung, some yeasty krausen (foam) spilling out. Luckily, with the way I set things up, the rubber bands pulled the bung back down and the vasoline sealed it down again. As a result, a good deal of the orange krausen pushed up into the airlock and there was barely enough fluid left in there to bubble by the time I got back. I got that all cleaned up and everything, though, and hopefully it won't happen that strong again until I get the new, larger bungs.
Which will unfortunately be Wednesday.
Whatever.
