Does this look normal?

[Brewnurse]

Hey! Another newb here, with yet another sanitation question. I brewd my first batch of beer yesterday, and everything went fine. Well, besides pushing the stopper into the primary! But thats for another thread....... I waited till the temp was around 74F and then pitched the yeast. Now it is about 24 hrs later and I have active yeast but also some white stuff? Anybody know if this batch is contaminated? I am going to put pics in my album because I am not sure how to put pics in thread. Thanks!

Although not super clear pics it looks like fermenting beer to me. If you want to put pics on your post just go to a pic you have in your gallery and cut the code in the last box on the bottom that says image code and then paste it into your post.

Looks like you're making beer to me!!! :rockin:

Totally normal.

What a difference a few hours will make! I went out to take more pics, I know the other ones werent great....but, anyway, now the "white stuff" I saw has a cream color! It worked! It really works! WOOOHOOOOOO! I don't think I am going to be able to wait four more weeks. Anyway here is a better pic! Thanks guys!

Ok, my bad.... its the code from the 2nd box that you need to use..... sorry about that.

When you take your flashlight and shine into your carboy...be forewarned that it will look like a disturbed madman is fidgeting about in there...if you have a good ferment things will be rolling around and dancing...go look!

Here ya go.....

you know I am going to have to get me 6 1/2 gal carboy or better bottle, so i can watch my brew fermenting. This having it in a bucket and not being able to see it is killing me.

yup, looks good to me

Good looking beer. Congratulations!

Don't sweat the stopper... I've done that once. It didn't make a bit of difference. The worst part about it is getting the confounded thing out of the carboy when the brew is done.

Ya! I know! But, It will be something to think about when I am drinking my first homebrew! I already read the posts on how to get it out. Should make for a fun afternoon! Thanks guys for your help! Airlock is bubbling nice and good now!

I am surprised no one has mentioned this but, Relax, have a home brew. It looks great!
