After all of the hassles with UPS and an unbelievably frustrating week (work, moving a friend, etc.), I've got my first batch ever in the fermenting pail. Start to finish, including cleaning the kitchen, this batch of extract based American Pale Ale (Listermann's) took me 5 hours and 10 minutes. I was extremely careful with sanitation, and I'm pretty sure I did everything right. OG was 1.055 at 60 degrees before pitching the yeast, and it's supposed to be 1.058. So I guess that's close enough. I took a lot of notes and pictures along the way. This should help when I'm ready to start the next batch.
Now I'm smoking a pipe full of Blue Note and relaxing while watching Jeff Foxworthy's Big Night Out on CMT.
