I love the smell of boiling wort in the morning...

Yea, me too, but my wife hates it.

It's kind of funny how some batches take off in a couple hours, while others take more than a day.

Yeah, what's with that, I'd like to know.

Someone here will know the reason. I'd guess that at least part of it is that different strains of yeast just perform differently. My batch of Strawberry Blond didn't take off for more than a day. I opened the lid and there was no activity at all. I ended up pitching some dry. If I would have used a starter, I wouldn't have had to wait that long to discover that my yeast was dead. So for now on, I'm using starters.

It's probably the brew and yeast temps.
