Hey all.
I've recently starting brewing with a friend after considering it for a long while. My friend previously worked in a craft beer bar and shadowed the brewers there a few times, creating his own recipe and leading a brew once.
With his experience we decided to jump straight in to all grain, (with a lot of enthusiasm, and just not quite enough research).
Our first brew day was last Saturday, we brewed our own recipe, a 3 hop American ale, and everything went fine until it came to cooling the wort.
We lacked the right equipment to cool and monitor the temperature at the same time, so we opted to allow the wort to cool slowly to remove the risk of killing the yeast.
The brew is fermenting now, so just going to have to wait and see what the result is.
After a fun day and some lessons learned, I have decided to join the forum to speed up the learning process and hopefully in time share some knowledge.
Going to build a DIY wort chiller tomorrow and get another batch started Saturday.
Peace!
