Day one complete, first beers resting in peace :D

Completed my first brew session today. Two brews. A Belgian Wit - Left and IPA - Right. This pic was taken a few hours ago. Now the krausen in the Wit has already started moving into the blow off tube at the time of this post.

Oh the agony of waiting on the beer now, lol. Can't wait to get the pipeline going after I keg the first series of beers.

Looks great!

I'd take the bucket with the blow off tubes off of the milk crate and put it on the floor. You want it lower than the level of the beer in the fermenter to make sure it doesn't "suck back" on you when fermentation slows.

Great tip! I actually propped it up on the crate because the tubes would not bend low enough to submerge in the water. I'll take the crate off and find a way to hold the tubes down in the water.

Thanks for pointing this out. Once again the homebrewtalk boards pay dividends!
