April 2nd 2018 at 12:45h - Oxygenation of Wort inside the Carboy (shaking it) and place the airlock.
1st Day - April 2nd 2018
I tought it would start fermenting... and the bubles would go through the airlock. But nothing happened.
2nd Day - April 3rd 2018
I can't really see the fermentation. No bubles in the airlock, but i could smell something. I think it is hop.
3rd Day - April 4th 2018
Something happened here today. It smells the same. Is it the fermentation? How should I know?
4th Day - April 5th 2018
Defenitively something is happening. The color looks like a little bit dark and some more foam.
5th Day - April 6th 2018
I think that the fermentation is running.
6th Day - April 7th 2018
7th Day - April 8th 2018
8th Day - April 9th 2018
9th Day - April 10th 2018
