Today's the day! Just poured the first pint of my first homebrew (American Cream Ale) from the keg! Turned out a little darker than it should have (too long of boil for lme) but its creamy and delicious! I'm hooked!
Welcome to your new addiction. If you want a lighter color with LME add about 30% to the beginning of the boil. Save the rest for the last 15 minutes. You will get a better chance of getting the color you want.
That's awesome, congrats! I'm still sweating it out as SWMBO didn't like the hydro sample I took from my first brew and hoping with a cold crash to drop all the yeast out and then kegging and getting it on gas to carb will help.
