Beer!

Well, between that last post and when I woke up, the beer really took off. It is fermenting so vigorously that krausen (foam) from the beer is regularly flowing all the way from the carboy to the bucket. The line even occasionally becomes clogged (this is a 1.5″ line, mind you) and there is a sudden GURGLE sound audible throughout the whole house when the clog pops free.

Here’s some extra photos and videos of this:

· Fermentation assembly ~17 hours after pitching yeast.
· Detail of the carboy, actively fermenting away.
· Blowoff bucket full of stuff.
· Krausen and trub flowing through the blowoff tube. (Video)
· Krausen moving from the carboy into the blowoff tube. (Video)
· Krausen bubbling into the bucket, and the line occasionally getting plugged. (Video)

So, yeah… It’s definitely fermenting well.

Also, I just realized that I haven’t had any caffeine since Thursday morning, which would explain the dull headache that I’ve got. Must remedy that sometime today, I think… Or, maybe I’ll just hold out for a while. Hmm.

Anyway, time to go eat food… I’m feeling hungry.
