Tasty - you will always be my first

I think it is OK to leave all the star-san foam in the carboy and transfer wort?

Don't fear the foam!

the only question i have is about the hoses, was the green one where you got your water from? if so, look into getting a potable water hose like they use for RV's. i'm glad that Tasty "Buster Hymen" McDole took care of you.

Only used the hose for the immersion chiller. Brewing water was carbon filtered tap water from the kitchen.

Congrats BC! And yes, the foam is your friend. Don't fear the foam.

Welcome to the initiated in the wonderful world of home brewing!!!

The damn thing is actually fermenting. I know I'll get over it after a few times, but it's pretty cool that is actually works. If it is ready to drink in 2 months it will be my Xmas present to myself.

I'll offer you this little piece of advice. In your last photo when you are filling up your carboy, put a piece of sanitized foil over the top of the carboy so no wild yeasts or other junk gets in there.

Good luck and remember to save a bottle of your first brew to keep

Thanks for both suggestions.
