Hey everyone!
Just wanna say me and my friends brewed our first batch of pale ale yesterday. Well, it took an hour and a half to boil a gallon and half of water which we thought was waaayyy too long. But we then put in the grains, let it sit for 45 minutes. Then took out the grain, added i think it was 2 gallons then added the malt. It went very well, however the time it took to boil seemed long. I was told that it was suppose to take 45 minutes, however it took 4 hours to boil. I think a big mistake was, putting the yeast in a cup of hot water. Then when we poured the wart into the fermenter, we added yeast. Not sure if that will really have an adverse affect, but the readings came out well and I will get some pics and also a description on how it came out! Me and my friends played 4 hours of monoploly while we it was boiling, and...I had a miserable loss. Oh well! Ill get back with results!
