Here's a couple pictures from boiling the first batch of beer. The
first picture is adding the final quantity of hops at the end of the
wort boil, then straining into the fermenter.
This morning I added the yeast when the wort was cool enough, but then
I didn't stir it at all - just sprinkled the yeast on top. I got
nervous and stirred it this afternoon to aerate it a bit, perhaps I
shouldn't have because of the risk of contamination. I probably should
have heeded the advice of this guide I'm reading.. "Relax. Don't
Worry, have a homebrew." but I hope it will turn out ok. I'll know in
a month or so. Now to plan the next beer while this stuff ferments!
May I suggest a nice nut brown ale?
Certainly you may, that's the second request I've gotten already for a nut brown. Perhaps I'll investigate. =)
