I brewed a Christmas strong ale last weekend and thought the fermentation had already stopped. See, I had to clean out the air lock twice because of all the activity in the bucket and was expecting it to continue. But a day later there was no activity in the airlock. I just figured the fermentation was over. I took a gravity reading this evening and discovered the fermentation had been so active that it popped the top right off! Lots of fermentables in this one!
The taste so far is good and the alcohol burns nicely.
did you use telfords tartan malt and Geurodie malt?

Sorry, just saw this. I did not use those malts. It was all from syrup or powder malts.
I could go back and look for the recipe in my book if you want it. I should actually start planning this brew again so it will be prime for xmas.
