It sounds so complicated until you do it. Sometimes I think I should have just started on AG but when I was totally new to brewing I used written directions for extract brewing to keep all the steps straight. I've only done a few AG's now and still I don't have to try too hard to think ahead. I just know what comes next. The biggest mistake I've made was accidentaly throwing a whirlfloc into my wit out of habit. Congrats!

Congrats on the first AG. I was shocked that I hadn't done it years earlier. It does sound complicated.

Sounds like your first AG went really well. Now you just gotta brew extra to make up for lost time!

Grats on getting so close to your target OG! Thats way cool! Did you do the dance? Or am I the only one who does the OG dance?

I just love the smell of the smell of the mash. I still marvel that it comes out the color it's supposed to be, and the gravity (well, more or less).

I don't think mashing is hard, but it just takes a bit longer.

Congratulations!!
