My first brew for years!! Bonn Place Brewing Mr. Harry’s Pig Tale Extra Pale

[Realalemonster]

Made my first AG brew in about 15 years today. Bought my ingredients from crossmyloof. Used Simcoe in place of Pacific Jade, similar alpha acid. Everything went hunky dory, pitched yeast at about 27 degrees, a bit high I know, but stuck it in the cellar so hopefully ok. At the top of the celler temp hangs about 19 degrees.
God, forgot how good it feels to make ale!
