Well, I think it smells great. I think it smells like sweet hoppiness- like heaven must smell.

My teenagers have described it as "vomit" smelling, though.

Welcome to a most fun and rewarding hobby! Keep an eye on that boil, don't want a boil over while posting on HBT.

Well, darn it. You have to be 21 to participate in the forum, if you live in the US.

It sucks, but you'll have to wait 2 years to come back.
