Well, I had 0 (major) boil-overs. Stove top worked great, hit my steep temp within a degree. My Spec Gravity was supposed to be 1.46, I was at 1.5, after adding probably too much water. Added the yeast, and now she's chilling in the shower for a few weeks. How long will it take to see some...

alright, thanks for the replies. I got a little sidetracked, but now I am off.

OK, here are the abbreviated directions received from S.H/F.S. Anything I should do differently? I dunno, adding that much water just seems like it would come out watered down, and not nearly as flavorful. I'll probably get started in 2 hours. Let me know if I should change anything up, or...

I loled. Great job!
