Thanks for all the advice! I went ahead and put the airlock back in. I just like watching the bubbles!

This is my first time using a blow off tube; as well as a yeast starter and aeration (hence the need for the blow off tube!). After the about 15 hours the airlock had foam and "stuff" coming out the top, so I replaced it with a blow off tube. Man did it bubble like crazy! Now (about 40...

WOW! I checked it this am (9 1/2 hrs after pitching) and the airlock was bubbling pretty good. I checked again at about 10:30 (about 15 hrs after pitching) and its bubbling through the airlock! Good thing I caught it when I did, and put a blow off hose in. I can't believe how much its...

I'm making my FIRST batch of beer, an American IPA, from a kit. I noticed that it was quite cloudy when I transferred it to my secondary, so I bought a package of (Crosby & Baker) Biofine Beer Fining from my LHBS. The guy there didn't seem to know much about it. This was the only thing he...
