Finally did it. Saturday I brewed my first batch. Used the Cincinnati Pale Ale recipe come Palmer's book.
Overall the brew went really go. Nothing funny or bad to describe.
The whole process took me about 2:30 hours. It took 45 min for the water to get to a boil, didn't expect it to be so long.
I was expecting a crazy hot break and boilover but it never happened.
It's now fermenting slowly at 19.4 Celcius. (67F)
Hope the beer turns as good as the brew day went. Only time will tell. Now it's waiting time... time to take all the stickers off the bottles. !
