I just got done with the ACA. Smells good, taste like a bad tea. OG on the low end at 1.049 like it is supposed too. I will check out the BIAB. Thanks for that. I can't wait. I have the 20qt. pot, just have to get the bag. We have a great supply store and I enjoy that they are recognizing me...

I am working on batch #2 as I type. It is the Brewer's Best American Cream Ale. It's from the kit, not proud of that but I have to start somewhere, right? Next batch I am thinking a Black IPA, but I want to do half grain, half extract. I don't have the space or the firepower to do an all grain...

The brewing went great. It is bubbling in my living room right now. The one tiny mistake I know I made, I put the fermentor in the basement for the first day. It was too cool for things to get started. Brought it upstairs, it started singing in less than 15 minutes. It smells great to me...

I got the Brewer's Best Deluxe Brewing Kit for Christmas ans figured the best way to start the new year was to brew on the first day. I am brewing the Brewer's Best Double IPA. Using he kit to start but can't wait to get experience and confidence to do it the right way. Happy Brew Year everyone!!!
