third day
gravity was at 1.02, which is where it should finish, i guess. kinda disturbing. added another packet of yeast, proofed for 45 minutes. yeast wasn't super bubbly
during proofing. not much krausen on the brew. debris around the top line. will give it 3 days to start bubbling again, otherwise, it's probably bad.

First Brew
midwest's 'irish red ale' kit. probably overcooked the grain. water was boiling when LME added, not at 150. steeped for 45 minutes to an hour--probably too long. OG 1.05, airlock bubbled within a couple of hours and continued until the next day.
