The fermentation took off like a rocket. There was movement in the airlock within 7 hours. Was rocking in 12 and went solid for more than 24 hours....

After only 2 weeks in the bottle, carbonation is very thin (I primed with 2/3 cup corn sugar). Still a bit young, as the flavors were a little harsh. Gave the bottles a swirl and will try again in a week.
