Hey guys, I've been lurking for about a year around here and finally had the time to brew up my first batch. I settled on a kit put together by my local homebrew supply store to make an autumn ale. 5.8% ABV, 10 SRM, 24 IBU.
Went through the whole deal on Sunday at about 9pm and I'm already seeing some activity in the airlock 24 hrs later. SG was 1.055 for my batch and the recipe said I'd be seeing about 1.058. Looking forward to the bottling adventure in a week. Definitely need to pick up a wort chiller for the future though, took about an hour and a half to chill it down to 85°.
Thanks for all the knowledge I've mooched!
