My first batch is in primary as of 5pm....lots of fun! I used an extract kit with specialty grains, let the grains steep for 30 minutes at 150 F, then brought it up to a boil and added the other ingredients.
I used the wort chiller that came in my kit and it did wonders, yeah I know I just did an extract boil, about 2.5 gallons, but it brought it down.
Then I rehydrated my yeast and put it in, shook the crap out of it, and now it seems like its bubbling well, the airlock is kinda weird, a cap over the tube instead of a one piece airlock, so I hope it is ok.
So how long should I keep the blonde ale in there?
My SG reading was 1.050....did I read the hydrometer right?
In any case, the bug has bit me and I want to do another batch already!
