**edit**
How did I miss the sticky? I literally missed it until I hit POST. Anyway, I'll let it go an relax. I oxygenated by vigorously aerating with a wire whisk until there was like 2 inches of foam. I hope that was enough.
Well I bought all my stuff to be a big boy brewer finally. Decided to go with the Ferocious IPA from Midwest. Cooked it all up yesterday, went pretty well all things considered. Wyeast liquid, packet completely swollen. Never took a gravity reading, mainly because it's an extract kit. Took me a while to get it down to 70 degrees, maybe an hour or so. Pitched at 4:00pm yesterday, 68 degrees outside temp reading on my temp strip. How long before I get no bubbles should I be worried? Tonight maybe? I peeked under the lid, and there's not even any krausen forming at all.
Another note, when you go from kettle to primary, are you filtering at that point to get the junk from the bottom out, or just dumping it all and filtering later?
