I stopped at the local brew shop today and picked up the ingredients for a Brown Ale. I just got some new equipment and I'm looking forward to trying it out. I was using a cheap SS "5 gallon" pot and a bag that was way too big and a total PITA, so I upgraded to a Megapot and an appropriately sized "brew bag". Attached File Perfect fit! Attached File |

| My most recent is a left coast pale ale with Amarillo hops. Ended up with about 2.2 gallons of wort for 2 pounds of lme and like 5-6 oz of flavoring grains. Gonna be a little lighter but I think it'll be very drinkable. My burner has been anemic though so my boil is maxing out at like 193. Hopefully that won't mess it up. |

Shit took off immediately, once I pulled the jars out they immediately came back to life and I had active fermentation in about 2 hours , had to do an open ferment over night as yeast was coming out the air locks . Got it cleaned up today and airlocks back on , still chugging away and smells great. Attached File Attached File Attached File |
