Hello from south of the border

[Daverust]

Hello everybody, my name is David and I'm from Mexico. I just received my equipment and I can't wait to start brewing, I just need to get some final stuff (bottles...).

Just want to say this is one of the best borads to help noobs to start in this craft, I received plenty of information before I decide to pass to the dark side.

Anyway, I'm glad to be here and hopefully I will contribute with something in the future, cheers! borrachos

Welcome David, what's on your brew agenda?

Hello, thanks for the welcome! I start with a ver basic amber ale, this is the kit I order online, I made half batch because there are no much space in home, this is the 2nd day of fermentation, I had some troubles at first (Pitched yeast in more that "warm" wort) and my cooling bag was not properly regulated, but I managed to handle the temp to 69 right now. Let´s hope it turns good! It Will be a shame because smells amazing
