Well!! I brewed my first batch today and lets say that after carefully considering the exceptional Acronym list provided on this site you forgot one. Cluster f*$k!!! My fellow ex-miltary buds will know this. I purchased all my shtuff from Midwest(very good service, by the way) and a Autumn ale extract kit. The brew part went well except my kitchen looked like the wrong end of a bomb expolsion. I steeped, boiled, added and chilled per the instructions, all was well, until.....I added the wort and the water to the fermenter, pushed the airlock in and the rubber grommet fell into the fermenter!!! Argh!! I decided instead of digging around the wort and contaminating my very hopeful future beer, I jammed the airlock in the hole and will hope for the best!!!
Thank you all for a great website and enjoyable reading!! To all of those who recommended John Palmers book "How to Brew" i would also like to thank, fantastic and almost scary fantastic!!
Here's to you guys/gals I will enjoy a Bell's Oberon in celebration or sadness, whichever. Now I get to add the cool signature block.
