Beer Brewing: Day 0 and Day 1

So, I started brewing beer with my beer brewing kit that my dad gave me for Christmas. It really dumbs down brewing a bit, so if I get interested, I'll do it for realz.

Day 0: I started brewing the beer Sunday afternoon. It came with an instructional DVD and a regular instruction booklet. Since this is Coopers, which is Australian, the instructional DVD was in Australian, which made it that much cooler! I watched the DVD while boiling the 2 liters of water needed to start it off.
So, the first thing I had to do was sanitize my equipment in order to make sure the fermentation process would go as smooth as possible. This entailed putting all the little pieces of equipment into the vat and then putting a cup of bleach in the vat and then filling the vat with cold water and letting it sit for 30 minutes. I did this while getting to know the instructions a bit more.
With the cleaning process done and the 2 liters of water boiled and ready, it was time to start! Now, here is where I was a little confused. The printed instructions told me to put the yeast in first, then put in the Lager mix along with the 2 liters of boiling water. However, in the instructional video, it showed them putting the water and Lager in first THEN the yeast. So, I decided to put the yeast in first. Hopefully if I was wrong in that order, it wasn't too big of a deal.
Next, I stirred it up with the huge stirring spoon that they provided me with. Then I added the rest of the water...which was about 20 more liters. I then stirred it some more for a bit and then sealed it up. It wasn't until after I added the rest of the water that I remembered that I had to make sure the temperature was between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius. The little thermometer said it ws 16...oh no! So I quickly did the only thing I could do...I turned up the heat and put the vat right next to the air vent hoping it would warm up in time to not screw up the fermentation process. I'm hoping that did the trick.
So, now my apartment is a warm (and probably expensive!) 73 degrees, and my vat is chilling (warming?) at a nice 22-24 degrees Celsius (I actually had to look up the conversion). Before I went to bed, I checked it to see if anything was happening. The only thing I could see was that there were some bubbles on the top of the liquid.

Day 1: I woke up this morning and looked over my vat o' beer. There was some condensation on the top of the vat, which according to my instruction manual, means that the fermentation process is going smoothly. So, I guess everything is going as planned. There's a fancy little "Airlock" gadget (not really that fancy) that is supposed to be what let's the CO2 out of the vat and not let anything in. It's supposed to bubble, but that isn't the case. I was a bit worried, but the manual said that it occasionally happened, which meant that the seal wasn't quite perfect, but if there was condensation, then it meant things were doing fine. Tomorrow I'm going to see if I can do anything about that. Also, I'm going to see if I should take a Gravity (density) reading on it, or if I should wait to do that.

All that's left is for me to figure out a name for this batch of beer...

Just for fun, I'm going to do my first ever poll.
