Happy New Year folks. I got a jump on my new year's resolution
already, I started brewing a batch of beer last night! (My resolution
is to brew beer.) I got a kit with the gear from the nice folks at
mainbrew.com over in Hillsboro and am making an Amber Ale with fresh
hops. I'm still trying to figure out the details, but it wasn't too
hard - I started at 8pm and had things cleaned up by 11:00. Not too
bad. I hope it turns out!
Of course now the waiting starts. I'll need to wait ~1 wk in the
primary fermenter and then a couple weeks in the secondary fermenter,
then a week or so in the bottles before I can drink it. Whew. I bet
I'll make at least another batch in that time? I wonder if I can wait
that long. I better start drinking more beer so I have some bottles
available though, anyone have some bottles you're willing to donate
(no screw caps)?
