The yeast is starting to take over and blew the airlock cap off!

MMMmmm. Homebrew my favorite hobby. Where do you get most of your supplies from? My LHBS is about 120 miles away so I have to stock up whenever I go. Just placed and order with www.morebeer.com so we'll see how long they take to ship it out here to me. Are you doing Extract, Partial mash or Allgrain. Never looked back after my first allgrain batch.

Extract since I have just started. MoreBeer is just down the street from me. I get all my supplies there.

That is my cat in the lower right corner. She always wants to check out whats brewing in the closet.

Bottled this beer. FG of 1.020 for a 5.9% ABV. Pretty low I say, I guess the yeast and my brewing conditions (warm desert) wasn't that great. Made 44, 12oz bottles from this batch.

Homebrew #1 tastes great and and is mostly gone by all my friends having 3 bottles each.
