Been so busy since I got my equipment. But finally had our brew day on 8/24/08.
So here is how it went...
Started 2.5 gal of water heating on stove in 3.5 gal pot.
Steeped in 1lb roasted grains, removed just before boil.
Added 7lbs light malt syrup at boil.
Added 1oz bittering hop pellets at boil.
BOILOVER!!! (OOPS)
Reduced heat and continued boil for 1 hour.
(Wife leaves house, says it stinks. Personally I thought it smelled great.)
Removed from heat and added 1oz aroma hop pellets.
Added 1 lb clover honey.
Chilled in ice bath.
Poured into SANITIZED primary bucket and topped with cold water.
Stirred and pitched with dry brewers yeast.
Sealed with lid, installed air lock, stored in basement @ 70deg F.
O.G. 1.050
Hmmm... no bubbles.
Next morning....BUBBLING like mad Sweet!!!
Now, we wait........................
