My First Home Brew
Jan. 28, 2012
Northern Brewer Pale Ale Kit aka "29"
5 gallons (19 l)
Speciality grains
6lbs. Gold Malt Syrup
1oz Cascade hops (60m)
1oz Cascade hops (15m)
1 package of Safale US-05 Ale Yeast
I followed the directions provided to a T. I kept everything clean and made sure to err on the safe side of any questionable direction. However, I didn't have a thermometer nor did I have a hydrometer (to measure the beer's gravity) so my detailed steps are actually irrelevant. I have the ingredients for my next batch and I have bought a thermometer and a hydrometer so I will get into a little more depth about future brews. Here are some pics of the bottling process. Got about 40 or so bottled "29"'s and are waiting for the final carbonation/fermentation to take place in the bottles so that we can toss back a few. Beer will be ready to be cracked 1/18/13 and I'll let y'all know what it tastes like but expect my second, more detailed batch of brew on here soon!
