I brewed my first batch today and like many others comments i've read on this site i realize i'm going to be worried about what i did on my first batch. I'm using two 6.5gallon plastic tubs. I mixed my wort and 3.5gallons water into one of my buckets, and didnt take a temp. Per the recipe i was using it advised me to just wait approx 30 mins after boiling before adding my re-hydrated yeast. At that point i pitched my yeast and covered the bucket with the top, and the airlock. I filled the airlock up to a fill line with the water solution. 5 hours later the water is below the fill line in the airlock and i see some condensation inside of the airlock.. My question is what should my concerns be, and also what should my next steps be to ensure i get a decent batch of beer for my first time.
