Another "one" born

We'll I'd like to announce that as of exactly 1am this morning I'm the proud papa of a 5g Fat Tire Amber Ale. She came in at a nice sg 1.050
(1.048-1.050 recipe) with a pabv of 6.5% (4.8% recipe). I used an S-33 package of dry yeast and made a yeast starter about 28hours before pitching, it really had a nice size to it. We'll anyway I'll stop rambling, carboy and beer are doing great as for the proud home brewer I still need more sleep. By the way moving from the kitchen to the garage was a great step to take, go Banjo.

Congradulations from the possum knob clan.

1 AM, huh? How long in labor?

well (in a shameful posture) it took about 4hours from putting the cold water on to pitching the yeast. I'm working at bringing the time down though. A wort chiller would help a ton, but the new banjo burnner was a big step to get into the garage.

Is it time to pass out cigars?

You know you're in beer labor when your 'additions' are less than 5 minutes apart.

that's great

This is by far the most intense fermentation I've had. I whish I could get good video of it because you can see perfectly all of the motion/ swirling going on. Good thing I setup that blow off tube.

Ain't it just like a proud Papa...wants to show us video of the birth when all we want to see is the video of the conception...

Some things need to be left to the imagination.

So the brew was dilated to 1.050 cm when it was born?

congrats there man. nice to see some more amesians on here.
