This is my first batch.
I pitched the yeast US-05 too hot at 31 degrees C. I had to get away for the weekend and I was short of time. I had used Glucoamylase following the mash, at the required temperature, for a hour. The ambient temperature here in the brewing room is 18-20 degrees C day and night.
The mix was 4 KG of crushed barley and 1KG of rolled oat flakes. It was in a 30 litre kettle with about 22 litres of liquid at the end (guess).
The fermenting air lock liquid had some condensation going up the tube from the kettle, and a few little bubbles just hanging around in the airlock. When I moved it away some spilled and it foamed up madly. It smelled of beer that you might have dry on your hands. I had left some hydrogen peroxide in that airlock water. I don't know if that made a difference.
There is "scum" around the high tide mark of the kettle.
The beer smells lovely. It is very dark and cloudy. It looks like milk tea.
I put the airlock back on. During the process of sampling for the hydrometer I sanitized everything so as not to create a problem.
Some places I read that I am done now, with a reading of 1.01. But I'm so inexperienced I don't know what to expect.
