Brew Day OVER!!!
I just finished up with 2 - 5 gallon batches, a Milk Chocolate Oatmeal Stout that was my first partial Mash (and only my second beer) and an American Pale Ale (San Diego Red Tide Ale) which was an extract steeped with Crystal grains. Took exactly 6 hours to complete both and they are bubbling away nicely (And the oatmeal was only pitched 15 minutes ago with a nottingham starter from a previous beer). The best part about it was drinking my first brew which I bottled last week, and it tasted awesome (a bit green still but damn good). Talk about one hell of a day!!! If it wasn't for all the info on this forum that you all have provided I'm sure I would just be buying kits. Keep brewing guys!! Cheers!!!
