First attempt at extract brewing, and using a propane cooker worked great. used 1/2 boil (3 gal), nice clean boil the cascade pellet hops for bittering created a nice aroma, they will expand to a large looking volume in hop bag. wort chiller worked well until i noticed a small leak shooting water in the batch i quickly stopped by pressing finger over the hole. praying it didnt destroy it. note: (check all equiptment before using it). cooled super fast, added fresh water to fill batch amount and several switch backs from pot to primary achieved good aeration formed a thick foam on top, pitched yeast as i put on lid and set airlock. now hoping for active bubbler and sitting at 66°.... next up, break out pipe torch and fill hole in copper...
