First brew in over three years in the books.

[GeorgiaTiger]

Done. Finished. Fini. Haven't done a brew day in over three years until today. May be my best one yet as far as technical details. Nothing touched the wort unsanitized...steeped the grains at the exact temp that was on recipe. Boiled it to the second. Dropped hops at the right times.

The only problem I had was with a new funnel that I bought to pour directly into carboy. There was a fine screen in it to keep true out but it clogged too much. I ended up taking it out and just pouring grub on in. I kept out as much as I could but this brew has a lot in the bottom. It is now resting comfortably in the Cool Brewing bag I got for Christmas.

Now the hard part. The waiting.

Feels good doesn't it! I've never taken three years off but after an extended break, brewing again is like a breath of fresh air.

Off topic. I'm a Clemsen fan this weekend! GO TIGERS!

(Disclaimer: Actually I'm a Michigan fan and a fan of anyone playing against Ohio St)

Sure looked like it from where I was sitting :cross:

Of course when in doubt blame the officials!

From a GT fan good luck to Clemson and the ACC!

Congrats on the first brew down after the break! Are you bottling or kegging?

Not sure yet on bottling or kegging. I want to keg if I can find a keg setup that I can afford.
