Looks good. I was able to brew one batch in the kitchen and the SWMBO told me to get out.

I brew in the garage now.

Lol. Swmbo was busy with PTA stuff all morning that's how I got away with it



Fermenting





Waiting





And done

 

[pat3rol]

Woke up this morning to an awful rotten egg smell coming from the airlock. After furiously searching the forum I relaxed after realizing its normal for here yeast

Wyeast 1010? That stuff makes an awful smell for a few days.

 

[pat3rol]

No 3068

Yup, it'll stink for a couple of day, what temp you fermenting at?

I came home when mine started fermenting and immediately looked for a present the dog left me but to my surprise it was my hefe and I thought to myself this has got to taste awsome since it smells so bad and sure enough it was awsome! when I bottled it looked like it was watered down but really turned out great getting ready to brew another tomorrow all grain in my new brewstand.

Temp is 69-70. No more smell as of yesterday. No activity on airlock either. Just gonna have to wait now. Might do an ESB I have so I'll have plenty of beer on hand for the beginning of summer

 

[tagz]

Was that ambient temp or wort temp?

 

[Dougie63]

I brewed another Hefe yesterday and I had steady airlock activity this morning and now its 9:30 pm and its starting to smell like poo poo lol

 

[pat3rol]

Ambient

Just got this one into a keg. It's gonna sit at room temp for a few days til I can get my spare fridge up and running
