Congrats & welcome to the game!!
I've found that the interminable wait for my new batch is best distracted by planning & brewing my next batch! Just sayin'...
Kegged up a chocolate stout, apfelwein, and a hefeweizen. Made another batch of apfelwein, just started the sugar syrup for skeeter pee, and coming to boil right now on an IPA.
It's a good day.

1) brewed a CAP
2) bought 105# of grain (2-row & pils) for future brews
3) bought & put together Biermumcher's "we don't need no stinking beer gun"
4) picked up the 2 empty kegs from Beerfest in May & cleaned same
5) talked w/ new brewer at LHBS and invited him to our next HBC mtg, plus gave a few tips
6) measured grains & bought yeast (wlp500 & wlp530) for three-way split of 9gal of Saffron Triple (already have 3711 to wash) next week
7) drank homebrew with buddies while watching baseball--down to maybe 6-7 bottles now!
8) panicked over lack of homebrew
9) checked on Robust Porter, DFH90 clone, split batch of Blone (2.5gal ea on Kolsch & Cal Ale V), and Saison... All progressing well
10) listened to Brett topic on the BN Sunday Session to start planning some infections
11) re-read Mosher on Belgian Tripels; got intrigued by the Doble-Doble technique to try for future big beers
12) re-arranged brewing calendar to include 6gal of Accidental Tourist IPA on 22nd
13) cleaned & de-labeled about 12 bottles for refilling
A productive beer day!
