Default Newest batch of Brew

Decided to make my first Pale Ale. I hope it doesn't turn out too bitter. This is the first time i have used the "blow off" setup where the krausen (foam) gets pushed out of the carboy instead of settling back in. This is my biggest batch yet at 6 gallons. Should end up somewhere around 6% alcohol content. 3-5 days in the primary fermenter and then another maybe 15 days in the secondary before bottling.

I was going to take more pictures i guess there really isnt much to see. More to smell than see.
