First Batch

Thu Aug 30, 2007 10:37 pm

Hey everyone, I've been around the forum for a while (getting lots of info) and listening to the Session since last fall, but I just brewed my first batch this week! My mom's husband, Blind Bill, is my brewing partner...ok, I do all the brewing, he drinks and asked questions...he's BLIND, what do you expect? We have a 10 gallon extract system we bought from More Beer in Riverside (Ron A is a great guy). We ferment in two carboys and have a kegging system so we can both enjoy the fruits of our labor on tap. Look for more great things coming out of Temecula in the near future!

We brewed the Columbus IPA kit from More Beer, and it's fermenting famously!

When I first saw that picture I thought you were brewing in a Vietnameese POW camp or Turkish prison or something... Then I noticed you were on your porch.
Ohh have the blind guy light the burner... that would be funny for a few seconds [WHOOMP!].
