I performed my first AG yesterday and overall I am pleased. Everything went fairly smooth, I just took my time and enjoyed the whole process. My OG was right on where I wanted it so I should be happy, right? I made a yeast starter out of a re-harvested liquid yeast and just when I was about to pitch it I took a smell and damn--it was bad. Strong vinegar and something else I can't describe, so I dumped it. I am glad I had a dry pack of US-56 laying around. I still haven't seen any activity out of the airlock but my house is about 68 degrees and I pichted my yeast (into wort) at about 70 degrees, so I figure it will take a while to get going.
Anyway, I need to thank all the great information/people on this site to help me get through a good day of beer making.
