So I am sitting here on my tailgate waiting on the grains to do their thing (BIAB) but somehow I always miscalculate how much water I can put with my grains and have room. Oh well. Pic of water coming up to temp before the little spillage. Only 2nd BIAB with 9lbs of grain in a 30 qt pot.

Pretty sure we all have caved and had the "early" homebrew. I know I have.....pretty much every time! Congrats and keep em coming!

Yep what drhookmec said. Always hard to wait.

Thanks that is what I was assuming I just wanted someone to confirm. I don't always trust my brain!

So this is my first starter and I am doing it in two steps to get to the proper pitching amount. I have already let it do its work for 24 hours with lots happening and placed it in the fridge tonight so that I can decant tomorrow and start the process with the next step of my starter. My...
