Went all grain my first batch in...double chocolate stout. Whenever I learn something new I just dive in...and why not...makes me feels like a kid riding by the seat of my pants. Fun fun fun. Worst thing that can happen is I screw it up. So what?
Makes me feel a little better. I think this batch will turn out pretty good. Had no contamination (that I could see or smell) during primary or secondary. I think I get a +5 bonus to all my rolls since I'm Irish.
