got some tettanger to use up help?

When it's fermenting this vigorously, you can take the lid off entirely. Don't worry about infection at this stage, because there's so much CO2 blasting-off that no nasties can blow in. This is the historically accurate method of getting those elusive esters and phenols which are true-to-style for this type of beer anyway.

However, beware if you have cats. I do, and they cannot resist frest yeast, so I haven't yet figured out how to create a protected open-fermentation area.

Apart from the vigorous ferment how is this coming along?
