I brewed my first batch yesterday. It took me while to get started because I wanted to jump right into all grain brewing and I needed to gather equipement.
My first batch I used someone elses recipe for a Winter Warmer. Overall, brew day went well. I found I need to invest in a good large funnel and strainer for filling my primary fermenter carboy but. other than that no big issues. I got my yeast starter going Friday night and it had about 32 hours go get going. I had visible yeast action in the fermenter within 7 hours of pitching the yeast so, I am very happy so far.
