Took the plunge today... Brewed the Two Hearted clone from a recipe somewhere on a thread here that had good reviews. Everything seemed to go smoothly too, Mash temp stayed at a constant 150 for an hour, drained rained it to my kettle, then batch sparged according plan. The boil went well, narrowly avoided a boil over... The only thing I'm a little concerned about is the SG I took after transferring to the fermenter... About 70 degrees, before pitching yeast, and I read about 1.045. I may have read it wrong, but it was supposed to be around 1.06. It'll still make beer, I'm not worried about that, but if my read was accurate, it'll be a lot weaker than I had anticipated. Maybe 5% abv vs. 7%. I won't complain as long as it tastes good!
