The brew is in the fermentor... the yeast starter was at high krausen when I pitched it... keeping it around 72F until it starts up... I have 2 days off and I cannot wait to see the show on this one! I am setting my alarm for the middle of the night so that I can check on it!

OH YEAH, I awoke at 4am and there was a thin krausen, bubbling every few seconds... I awoke again at 8am and the krausen had already reached within 1" of the airlock! It was receeding though... smells and looks beautiful!

Here is a LINK to a video at 12 hours after pitching

I'd like to try a Heffe next. What was the recipe you used. Looks like you got some
real good fermentation going there too!

What, you couldn't have dipped the camera down so we could see the brew? You're a beer tease.

I agree, I was anticipating the same thing!

Brewed a Czech Pilsner but due to the hockey game I heated up the wort to near boil then flamed out and will do boil tomorrow.

Damn warm temp! Now I can't do lager ferments in the garage.

A family frined invited me to come with him to Czech in a couple weeks, then I find out due to the huge increase in passprit applications from the US law requiring passports on flight into the states.. I can't get an expidated passport and thus will probably not be able to go.

My recipe was this.

1lb 6 row
3lbs pilsner
6 lbs wheat

.5oz hallertau h. at 60 min
.5oz willamette at 15 min

WLP300 starter

OG was 1.053 with 5.5 gallons post boil
See my post on here called HUGH HEFFE pics and video. There you will see video of my huge blow off too! It has been impressive to say the least.
