Oh thanks I'll buy one when the time comes. So far the krausen has dropped in the carboy, I see little to no activity in the airlock. But supposedly it can happen and it does not mean anything. The beer is fermenting and there is nothing weird growing in there. I can't wait to sample a few...

I was able to set my Twitch account so the beer is fermenting live !! http://www.twitch.tv/expertmax EDIT : it seems like the only thing you can upload to twitch has to be video-game related... odd.

Whoa that looks awesome ! I guess it will have the same effect as mashing in a stainless pot... Thank you for that link, will definitely take a look at my local hardware store.

Wow thank you for that FAST response. I'm consistently monitoring the temperature of the carboy. I was looking to install a baby monitor to make sure the thing is all fine and dandy. As it's my first batch, I'm very worried and excited ! I promised my friends a bottle and I really hope it will...

Hi beersters, I just brewed my first batch yesterday and this morning I woke up and I saw that : Right now as I'm typing, there is no activity in the carboy. No bubbling or anything. I'm wondering if my yeast just went bad, grew some nasties and went dead. I used Danstar - Munich...
