A - That's some nice equipment for a new brewer (heck, that fermenter's nice for any homebrewer). Color me jealous.
B - Those fish and chips look so good I want to cry.
C - Care to share the recipe? (for the beer, I mean, though the fish and chips recipe wouldn't be unappreciated!)

 

[Hello]

Looks great. For your first brew you went all out. Perfect.

ok, here's the recipe we came up with, pretty simple but tasty!
:
Water -
6 Gal water (1 gallon bottles)
Grain -
6.5 LB DME Light
10 Oz crystal 75L malt
6 Oz crystal 120L malt
Hops -
0.8 Oz Magnum
1.25 Oz Amarillo
Yeast -
2 Vials - White Labs - California Ale Yeast WLP001

-Heat water to 170, steep crystal malt grains (crushed) for 30 minutes, then remove.
-Bring to boil, add malt extract and dissolve completely, then bring back to boil and add the 0.8 oz magnum hops.(i add hops in a bag so they are easy to remove.)
-Boil for 60 minutes.
-Last 5 minutes of boil add 1.25 oz Amarillo hops (continue to steep Amarillo during cooling, but remove Magnum.)
-quickly cool wort to below 80 degrees
-transfer to fermenter and aerate.
-pitch yeast.
