    So this is my second attempt at brewing. My first attempt was incredible! The pale ale all DME kit has caused me not to enjoy commercially bottled beer as I was able to do before. Now a good friend that has been brewing for a couple of years, gifted me a British Pub Porter from BWC Woodland...

    Scared Noob regarding fermentation temp
