Wow what a deal. My first batch was amazing, a pale ale recipe given to me by a 30 year veteran brewer and instruction and care all the way through.
Second session same ale with the use of a secondary fermenter. The result a more mellow finer brew with even better mouth feel and taste.
yesterday I brewed my first wheat beer with all extract. Man did that yeast smell wonderful. Today i have a tornado of activity in the firmenter. the Krazen is beautiful and the color of the brew is really more than i could ask for. i'm so excited to get it in the secondary where it can really become a great beer. this brewing stuff is a blast.
Have to tell on myself. 6 minutes left in the boil I placed the lid on the pot and turned around to see what was on the tube, no more than 2 mins went by and wouldn't you know it, i had a boil over. it was a good mess. had to clean the entire kitchen. It turned out great and i have a spotless kitchen to go with it.
I learned that i can't be distracted from the boil and think it will be ok for the entire time I'm brewing. What a dummy. Oh well it was ok.
