Yes, that's brewing along nicely. Replace the lid and don't check again for a few days. It's hard not to peek but every time you have a look, the CO2 that forms is replaced by the air around you and Oxygen is really bad for your beer and will make it spoil. It's fine to have the odd peek but don't do it too much. Also leave it a bit longer than the kit recommends. Most of the brewing will be done in the first 3 days (unless it's a slow brew like the Woodforde Wherry) but there's still unwanted particles floating about the beer. More time gives them time to settle. I've a Stout in my well sealed bucket that's been there for 15 days and I'll not bottle it until next weekend.

Too true, the best antidote to the 'waiting blues' is to get another brew on once you have free'd up your Fermentation Vessel.

Yep, and before you know it you'll have four fv's, four kegs, 200 bottles, boxes of grain and hops and yeast..... And plans for a bigger shed to keep the missus sweet ;-)
