Thanks for the votes of confidence everyone. I've read a ton of literature and even more threads in here and assumed it would be alright in the end. It is now bubbling away, bubble every 3-4 seconds. Time will tell but I'm sure I'll enjoy every beer that comes out of it! Fermometer reads...
Just put my first brew in the fermentor and I'm not feeling too confident. Used the Wheat Ale mix that came with kit from NB. Boiling in garage since kettle is too big for stove(11 gallon).
- Started 2.5-3 gal to strong boil.
- Removed from heat and added LME I had in warm bath for 20 or so...
