Prepped grains, cleaned kettle, mash tun, sparge, & fermenter. Smacked yeast & killing last of 2011 batch of keg tonight. Ready to brew when I stop feeling like a zombie around noon!
A few things went wrong. I am not worried... Gotta learn by doing. In the primary, and it's not even midnight! I think that deserves a Ruination or Panzer Wolf! The sad thing about this being my first is that I can't reward myself with a home brew!
1g went into a wine jug with a small handfull of juniper berries. After our year of forest fires I thought we should use _something_ of the few trees left.
