    First brew day begins tomorrow morning.

    I'm very nervous.

    But I know I should Relax, Don't Worry Have a Homebrew (in a couple of weeks).

    Well, I got all the stuff in today and decided to go ahead and brew. Everything went fairly smooth. I love the aromas that you get at all the different stages. Finally got to smell hops, was definately not what I thought they would smell like. They had a very citrus-y smell. So everything's good and the first brew, a Nut Brown Ale, is sitting in the primary. Wish I had another primary, I would go ahead and do a second brew tomorrow. Sigh.

    IT'S ALIVE! 3 days after my first brew day and everything is looking good. Ordered a second fermenter today along with two (more) cases of 22oz bottles and an Oatmeal Stout extract kit. Trying to drink the beer in my fridge to empty up bottles. Brewing a Double Chocolate Stout this Saturday.



    All the info is going to the left (ABV, Date, etc.) Flickr made it a little blurry.

    Got my second fermenter in this morning. Still got one more on the way. So that means this evening I will be brewing up a Double Chocolate Stout with some friends. Beer and cigars will be had all around. Come join us won't you?

    Brewed up an Oatmeal Stout yesterday. Tasted the Double Chocolate that I brewed last weekend, gonna be a fantastic beer. I drank the whole sample and it was 1 week old warm, flat beer! Gonna be bottling my first batch this coming Friday and hopefully brewing up a Christmas Ale before I leave for the weekend (SIX FLAGS !!!).

    Now, I'm making the next small move up to mini-mash. My first mini-mash beer will be a sweet stout, much like Mackeson's XXX Stout.


    I just hope my Oatmeal Stout turns out as good as this Samuel Smith's Oatmeal that I'm having right now.
