I remember that excitement well - couldn't stop looking at the fermenter. Eventually you'll get to a stage where you'll forget when you brewed that batch sitting in the closet and haven't the foggiest how long the case in the hall has been conditioning for. Believe it or not, that's when the beer gets to be really really good.

Lol yeah the greatest and hardest lesson a homebrewer has to learn is patience.

That's why you get on that second batch now!!!! it's a good distraction from waiting and staring at your fermentor, wondering when it will be done.

A word in your ear.....if you're impatient brewing beer, don't ever attempt making mead (or wine).....beer has a ridiculousy short turnaround time....it's a shame how folks want stuff NOW!!! Relax and wait it out....or skip the hobby and go buy beer you can drink now...buy and drink good beer, as you'll need the bottles, perhaps?

Yes, I am still like a child waiting for Xmas, just waiting for the first bubble, the first bottling, the first taste , the first time I look at my first shelf full of beers, the enthusiasm when engaging in a tasting with friends of numerous different brews, the excitement is still there, I've been at it for over thirty years ! This hobby just keeps giving!
My best tip for you, and my biggest issue, is, get the next brew going ASAP , you have to keep the flow line going, otherwise you drink your supply dry and find yourself in the waiting room again.
So keep your fermenters full !

At this point,I still have that noob anxiety about seeing it start to bubble. Watching that on the fermenter stand next to the comp has a sort of calming effect...seems to...mesmerize...
