I feel like Tom Hanks in Cast Away upon making fire...
My fist batch is officially beer! Started the SNPA clone last Sat. night, had a blast and ended up with a wort with an O.G. of 1.052. My bucket has been keeping me company in my office in a water tub and bubbled away for about a week. Checked the F.G. today and am at 1.013 which is pretty much where I need to be.
I'm in Arizona, so I'm still a bit worried about the temp, but I kept the bucket covered with a wet towel with my ceiling fan on the entire time, and the water in the tub held at a constant 72 degrees. Dropped the thermometer in the brew today and it read 74, so I think I'll be fine.
I am indebted to you all (lurked for a few weeks before starting my batch) and to the great info on howtobrew.com. Here's to looking forward to the next batch!
