The Great Brewing Adventure, The Brew (preview)

Tonight has been a very successful evening of brewing at home.  I was told it was about as easy as following directions and I haven’t been disappointed.

I bought Charlie Papazian‘s (@CharliePapazian) book The Complete Joy of Home Brewing (CJHB): Fully Revised and Updated 3rd Edition to help me with this quest. It’s been invaluable. Charlie does a fantastic job of helping you understand the steps as a beginner. The book grows with you, with intermediate steps and tons of recipies for advanced brewers. I’m sure I’ll be trying some of them as I get a better grip on the whole process. (Who knows? Maybe that will be Part  II of the Great Brewing Adventure: Brewing through CJHB.

Anyway, I’ll have some video of my brewing tomorrow or Thursday. I’m excited to start drinking this already. The wort smells amazing.
