I am making a lagunitas IPA clone for my first brew and I think it's going well. A few possible concerns though.
I steeped my grains for 45 mins and the temp went from 150 and got up to 180 at the highest before I dropped it back down. Hopefully not a huge deal
I didn't have my brew pot boiling yet but added in the water from above, which took a while before I got a boil. Hopefully not a,huge deal.
Pitched sat at midnight around 80 and a real violent fermentation, . Clogging up the s airlock and white yeast/beer coming out of airlock in the middle of the night and when I am at work, which ran out of star san during bubbling out. Changed over to blow off tube today. I will never use an s airlock again, since I was stressed all day at work worrying I would come home to a mess. Luckily I placed the carboy in a open storage container. Collected the mess. Don't think it's a big deal either.
Just wanted your input to see your thoughts.
