colour check

Hi, this is my first brew and I was wondering if this is looking correct? Is the brown later on walls of the container just the yeast froth that has stuck? Or is it a problem?

 

That's just the krausen that has stuck to the top of the bottle...no worries there. Looks like you've made beer! Let us know how it is when it's done. Cheers!

 

Looks good and healthy to me, unless it isn't supposed to be red-ish

 

Cheers guys, nice to know that I've kept the hygiene standards high enough! Do you think 2 weeks is an adequate brewing time?

 

Leave it for another week and let the yeast go back and clean up after themselves.
Bottle and then leave for 2 -3 wks in bottle. Or keg and drink
Edit: and yes, as the others have said, that is just the krausen that stuck to the sides... all good

 

When I started, I did three weeks for my 'regular ales' (ones that needed dry-hopping or are super dark are handled differently), and that is a great amount of time. No need to rush things when getting started. Establish a nice routine and enjoy the results of your brewing!

That said, once you find a place in your house that has a good stable temperature for the yeast you're using, or you switch to doing controlled fermentation temperatures, that 3 weeks can really be reduced to 2 weeks, or even 10 days for moderate gravity ales, but starting out and with (likely) uncontrolled temperatures, I would stick with 3 weeks.

Happy Brewing!

 

Was looking to leave it for 10 days, then bottle and leave for another 10, do you think this will be long enough?

 

You are digressing. You originally asked if 2 weeks was long enough. We told you that 2 to 3 is best.
Now you are going back to 10 days.
2 to 3 weeks in primary is best

 

Okay thanks for the help, hopefully it'll turn out well!

 

It will turn out fine. One thing that a brewer needs is patience.
We have all been in the place you are in now. The solution is to brew again soon and get a pipeline established and then you will be happier.
