well yup, just got done my first brew. it was a scottish 60 ale. was quite a trial. only boiled over twice so that's not bad. i cleaned and sanitized everything i'm just a little worried if i kept them all sanitized thought the whole process. i guess i'll find out in two weeks! now i play the waiting game with the fermenter...that'll be fun i re hydrated the yeastes but didn't test them first, so i hope there ok. it's been in for about an hour and no activity yet, i'll check again tommrow morning. thanks for the tips deffently led me to understand the process much better
