First time carboy fermentation question with pictures

Ok thanks. Bung comes out when I pull on airlock or blow off hose. Didn't seem right but whatever works I guess...I'll look for a bigger one. I'm hoping to brew this weekend or beginning of next week.

Hello, if you transfer this beer off the the yeast cake the day before you brew (leave 1/4" of beer over yeast cake), then you can cool your next batch to pitching temps and dump it right on top of that yeast cake.

If you do this, make sure to start off with a blowoff tube from the start, it will ferment like crazy !

Cheers

Per the BF calculator beer came out with 83% yeast attenuation at 6.69% with a final gravity of 1.01. Smells good. Tastes good. It almost has a dry champagne smell at parts if you take a big long smell. Is this because of the fermentation temp fluctuations? I'm gonna wait two weeks before trying the first bottle. Just finished bottling after it sat in primary for 1 month.
