First brew done! Dagon Red Ale.

we just completed and kegged(sp?) our first beer! came out pretty good i think. we decided to call it Dagon Red Ale
here are a few highlights from it! ...and a pic of the beer battered fish we made with it!

 

Nicely done! It looks beautiful and has a good head on it.

 

A - That's some nice equipment for a new brewer (heck, that fermenter's nice for any homebrewer). Color me jealous.
B - Those fish and chips look so good I want to cry.
C - Care to share the recipe? (for the beer, I mean, though the fish and chips recipe wouldn't be unappreciated!)

 

Looks great. For your first brew you went all out. Perfect.

 

Thank you guys! @FatDragon, yeah! It may take me a bit to post the recipe but I should be able to get it up here today at some point.

-Heat water to 170, steep crystal malt grains (crushed) for 30 minutes, then remove.
-Bring to boil, add malt extract and dissolve completely, then bring back to boil and add the 0.8 oz magnum hops.(i add hops in a bag so they are easy to remove.)
-Boil for 60 minutes.
