Sounds that are music to a homebrewer's ears
I'm sitting here typing this with the steady singing of the stir bar mixing my yeast starter. It's a lovely sound, because it means I'll have a large, healthy crop of yeast to pitch in my pilsner Sunday morning.
I also like to hear the bloop of the CO2 passing through the airlock during primary fermentation.
And the Psssshhhhh! when I pry the cap off a well-conditioned homebrew.
What sounds make you, as a homebrewer, happy?

I like the sound my kettle makes right when the boil begins. I swear it sounds just like 'beer thirty'!

The lack of sound when the boil starts and the hot break doesn't foam over the pot and burn on the stovetop!

Re: Sounds that are music to a homebrewer's ears
Have to agree with these two, Dave. I actually recorded the bubbling of the airlock once and made it a sound on my mobile phone for an incoming text message. Apparently I was the only one that got it and thought it was cool amongst our friends. Now they knowFedoraDave wrote:

I really love the sound of the bubbles going through the S airlocks I have. I do all the fermenting in my closet or in a minifridge in my bedroom. And the sound of an active fermentation or two is one of the best ways to just relax and pretend the drama of the outside world doesn't exist.
Re: Sounds that are music to a homebrewer's ears
I have to agree on the sounds of fermentation through an airlock. Every batch, I take the time to sit, listen and watch...
And Grand Funk Railroad ROCKS!!
Brings back thoughts to a band many have not heard of Black Oak Arkansas..

Re: Sounds that are music to a homebrewer's ears
The air lock bubbling the sound of the bottle opening and the wort boiling are all great sounds. And Grand Funk Railroad while your brewing never hurts these old ears, And i was lucky enough to see Black Oak Arkansas way back in the early 70s. (Jim Dandy to the rescue Rocks)

I am listening to my blow off bucket gurgling from all the way upstairs.
