I just wanted to post a huge kick arse :beerbang: THANK YOU!!!!! :beerbang: to all the people who have helped, you know who you are! Im really enjoying it more than I ever thought I would. Not to mention I have learnt so much in these past 3 weeks its almost scary.
To recap for those who dont know I got a link to this forum from 'Brauluver' who saw my post on BA. He encouraged me to try an extract and while that was fermenting I have been reading for about 3 hours a day for 3 weeks. I still feel i have only learnt about 1% of brewing which is great because I love to learn new things.
I got so much confidence from the look and taste of the extract that i just had to try one of my favorite styles. A partial mash hefewizen. I brewed it today with no hitches. The best part is that I was chirpy and whisiling while I was brewing and everything just flowed smoothly, I only needed to glance at the instructions and already knew what I was doing, which was a big change from my bumbling, nevious and paranoid first brew.
I even bottled today with the help of my girlfriend (she got to put the carbonation drops in ) who actually enjoyed herself, either that or she enjoyed eating my drops
Well I just wanted to let everyone know how much I apreciate thier help. I have posted about 20 topics over that last 3 weeks and all have been replyed to promptly and in a easy to read manner no matter how noob they were.
So again thank you and I thought you might like enjoy this picture of my fridge which I took this afternoon. 2 weeks ago this fridge was empty apart from a few LCPA and Sam Adams, now im strugling for space!
Brew on! :super:
Blake,
