happy homebrew!

its done (well for now). i brewed my first batch of beer on Sunday! it took a little longer than i had expected, but a little cleaner than i had expected too! it was really interesting to see and do all the steps involved in brewing beer. i tasted a little before the yeast was added, and it tastes like really sweet flat beer! i can't wait for the finished product. here are some pics that chronicle my sunday:





so now the beer is sitting in my living room fermenting. its close to being done (i think). tomorrow i'm going to transfer it into as smaller carboy which will take it off of the yeast bed and let it finish fermenting. i'll probably bottle on monday or tuesday...but there really isn' t a set amount of time, i'll bottle when its done. and hopefully it'll be ready to drink by superbowl sunday (fingers crossed)
