just wondering, does the feeling of "oh man, i hope i didn't **** this up." ever go away?

also, it just started bubbling!
awesome!

Congrats on the first brew.

Don't worry, that anxious feeling definitely goes away after enough batches. To help you from worrying and to prevent you from messing with this first batch before it is done (leave it alone for at least 3 weeks), start planning your next batch!

It goes away when you drink it and you think to yourself "i was worrying about nothing". Welcome to the hobby!

Yea, been there, I have been surfing this forum and soaking up all the information I can, and it helps. My first 3 brewdays were stressful, but this last brewday was completely stress free, and I attribute it completely to here. Always remember....Relax, Don't Worry, Have A Home Brew(RDWHAHB), or a craft brew.

Best thing that I ever did was start to use these.

Maybe it's the act of writing it out, maybe it's the layout. *shrug* Either way, it seemed to make the brew day go a bit smoother.

It's hard not to worry... so like others have said RDWHAHB. If you followed instructions, things should go well. At least that is what I keep telling myself.
