vat diary: day 5

Another murky and cold day here (temp. typically around 14 C during the day! can't believe it's summer) The vat looks very still. It's more blue now as the indigo is released from the little cotton bag I put it in. Today it smells vaguely more of bran than of madder - could that be the fermentation beginning? Don't want to get my hopes too high...
