So far I've had a great warm reception here on HBT. I've acquired a More Beer starter kit with an 8 gallon kettle, immersion chiller, and PET carboy.
I'm brewing the MB Blonde Ale kit: 7lbs of ultralight Malt Extract, 8 oz of Crystal 15L Steeping grain, and 1 oz of Willamette.
My prep has included:
* Testing my new outdoor burner
* Sanitizing carboy, airlock, bung, and transfer tube
* Buying 6 gallons of bottled water
* Buying a large bin to submerge my carboy in to control temps
* Wash chiller and kettle to free random debris
Tomorrow I'm hitting it bright and early. I'm nervous, excited, and fully aware that no matter how much I prep and read/ and re-read I'll for sure forget something and run into some learning situations!
I'm still a bit intimidated by the math involved in All-Grain brews. I know I'm not quite there, but I so wish that I understood it already. Can anyone offer some solace in the newbie whirlwind of information?
