Brewed another batch today

I brewed another batch of Wizard's Wheat today. Lori, Nathan and Dave helped out. Homebrew Haven changed to a different yeast that's supposed to give it a more authentic German Hefeweizen taste. I really liked the taste of the last batch so I'll have to compare the finished results.
I took pictures this time and will post them here later. It was a fairly drizzly day. Nathan and I rigged up a blue tarp for some overhead cover. I declined to take a gravity reading again. I really need to figure out how to use that tester thingy. I ended up with a little less than 5 gallons in the primary fermenter this time. I need to make sure I start with a little more water.
11.29.8

Just finished watching Akeela and the Bee. Went upstairs to grab a book and checked the airlock. I could smell the beer at the top of the stairs. Fermentation is very active right now. I recall last time it took a good day or so before fermentation really started. This yeast is definitely alive.
