pretty proud of her.. she did all this practically on her own.. picked out the recipe.. and brewed it herself.. tastes pretty good too!

that definately makes sense

so i brewed sunday and today there is almost no activity in my fermentor bucket... any advice on what i should do? should i go ahead and take a specific gravity or just wait? this was a partial grain/extract brew.... just kinda worried because i know its suppose to stay in the fermentor...

what do you think it should sell for. im only 475 mi. away. for the right price it sounds like a road trip.

Thanks Mykel it taste good, kind of lite on the hops. Now two weeks in the carboy then to the bottles...

well its been 7 days and the fermentor lock has stopped producing any co2 so we are racking into the carboy today.. am looking forward to getting the specific gravity and seeing what it looks like.. ill keep ya updated...

yea thats us a team... beerluvngrl is the other half of my team.... thanks for welcoming us aboard!
