It's a brown ale. Got the recipe as a good first brew from Corvallis Brewing supply (www.brewbeer.cc).
Boiled the wort and got it into the primary last night by about 10 o clock. Just as I expected it took me about 3 1/2 hours (working by myself). Everything went really smooth aside from the fact that I tried to sanitize our plastic strainer and turned it blue. Woops! Anyway, once it was in the primary I pitched the vial of yeast and aerated it for a good 5 mins. Put it in the living room with a blanket around it to shield the light and went to bed.
Today I got home from class at about 3:15 and found my airlock bubbling away! I was encouraged to see that steady fermentation was underway after 17 hours. I'm loving this so far!
