Well, just finished steeping my grains and adding the powdered and liquid malts now the wort is on the stove getting its boil on. The bittering hops gave it a bit of a sharper smell, but I LOVE THE SMELL OF MY WORT IN THE KITCHEN!!!
Even though my daughter is complaining about the smell, I think it has a nice earthy aroma to it, very malty - almost like a bag of horse feed pellets.
Between gawking at my freshly made batch of Apfelwine burping the airlock and stirring my pot of wort, I opened the pot to find a nice rigorous boil and lots of 'wort poop' on the sides of the kettle. Im guessing that these are the bittering hops that are sticking to the sides of the kettle as it boils and foams. (Just scrape, stir and re-cover)
Well, only 30 more minutes of boiling til it goes into the primary! This is neat! (Thus far much more fulfilling than I had anticipated!) I cant wait to get my lips on this tasty brew! Ahhhh, twill be worth the wait!
