Cool! Loved watching the yeast and trub getting kicked around and redistributed along the bottom of the fermenter.

Neat video man. I'd be a bit leery about fermenting in the light for that long, but made for a cool video.

Here's another beer related time lapse I found after watching yours.

This batch was free to me so I made it useful and made a video out of it - I normally ferment in a water bath in darkness. The light was artificial light and if anything the camera was doing a good job with the exposure settings of making it look much brighter than it really was. I did block all the UV light off in the room so I should have minimized conversion of alpha acids to a sunstruck flavor so it should still taste OK!
