Hey, long time reader, first time poster.
Just a word of thanks to everyone here. I have been reading your posts for 6 months now getting ready for my first batch in 12 years. I brewed today! An easy Liberty Cream Ale kit but, man, was it nice to get back again. I never realized how much I missed the smell of boiling wort.
Because of your advice, it was a snap. Got a Bayou Classic, a couple of Better Bottles and a 3 keg system and a wort chiller. I boiled the full 5(1/2)g at once. Next time I'm going to siphon from the pot after a whirlpool though. I'm going to secondary in the keg then finish in a keg as well.
No, I didn't take any gravity readings this time. I just wanted to let time take it's path. It seems a bit more relaxing that way. From what I read here most of you don't on every batch. I just want to do it for fun.
And the SWMBO, let me get everything on the list, even brought me a burger today! Life is good!
Thanks for everything.
