Ok, I may have been impatient....advice?

Ok, UPDATE. Made up a new batch last night. Took me about half the time cause I more or less new the steps in advance being the second time. I imagine the first time is always the most difficult and hopefully it just gets easier from here on out. I also removed the barley before boiling and was able to get the Wyeast activator pack to swell up this time which was nice to see. So if all goes to plan I should end up with (what I hope to be) a nice Amber Ale. Thanks to all the guys with the advice, it is much appreciated.

Sounds good, but if you don't see any bubbles, don't dump it!

If it gets really foamy or something on top of it, Don't Dump It!!

If it smells odd or begins to annoy you, DON'T DUMP IT!!!

If you feel yourself wanting to dump it, come here and let us talk you down.

Haha, ya will do. Believe me I don't have plans on dumping beer ever again.
