A feisty one, this Honey Molasses Porter is.

Time to make way in the primary fermenter so the upcoming Maple Pumpkin Ale can be made , so the Honey Molasses Porter was transfered over into the secondary fermenter. The airlock hadn't clicked with any escaping CO2, so all appeared to be still.

A third pound of honey was added to secondary, and it was all set to rest in the usual spot downstairs. The honeycomb included in the jar was supposed to be added as well, but it was a tight squeeze to get it in, so I can imagine the fun in trying to get it out.

The following morning, fermentation had begun again, with a healthy gooey sludge of krausen on top. Mmmm....sticky molasses and honey. Crazy:
