I did a test run with my dishwasher the other day, because I was curious about the sanitize function on it. Seems to work pretty well, and learned a valuable lesson too! Dont touch the bottles once it is done! Man are those things hot! I know I know DUH <here is your sign>
Thanks guys for the input. I did all the sanitizing only because I keep seeing people say sanitize, sanitize, sanitize, sanitize, sanitize so I figured if I sanatize everything I wont have alot to worry about, and dont forget anything.
Ok I just literally finished my first batch. I waited a few weeks to do this because I felt I needed to read a little more before starting. Plus the temperature outside has been pretty cold. So here are my notes from it and if anyone happens to see an area that I messed up, could change or...
The wife knows how much I like Guinness so she picked up one from the LHBS called "Dumpster Dog Stout". Which I have found a few on here that look pretty interesting (ie..Double Chocolate Stout).
Greetings everyone, new brewer in Chesapeake, Virginia! I got my first starter kit for my anniversary from the wife. I dont have anything in the fermenter yet, but have a buddy coming over to help out with my first brew.
