For me it is a good cold break. If I achieve that everything just falls into place.
I think the greatest sense of satisfaction for me is when the wort is in the fermentor, the equipment & kitchen are cleaned up & I'm sitting in a comfy chair & enjoying one of my previous brews.
Smelling the hops.
Sticking my face over the brew pot after my first hop addition. That malty, hoppy steam is excellent for the skin!!!
is ANYBODY gonna say cleaning? come on people!!!!!! you're missing the best part!
When I'm done. I love brewing and all, but I don't drink and brew anymore, so that first beer after everything is put away is awesome. I also try to coordinate my brew days so there's football or hockey when I'm finished, which makes it even greater.
This. Combline that with the satisfaction of hitting all the right numbers, and it's awesome.
