well i finally was able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. And fruity it was, its an all citra pale ale. I messed up the boil size, so it is a tad bit watery, but on the hot days that colorado has been getting, its quite refreshing. All of the BMC drinkers in my barracks liked it so far. I have to say, brewing beer sounds really complicated when reading from a website, but its pretty straight forward when you actually get elbow deep in it. thanks to everyone for the advice.
