I came, I brewed, I conquered!

According to my brew log spreadsheet (which had gathered a thick layer of virtual dust), it has been almost exactly 1 year since I brewed my last batch. Until yesterday. I finally got out all my brew supplies and whipped up a batch for my new BrewDemon fermentor. I am trying out docpd's Bourbon Barrel Porter recipe. I felt like a noob all over again, as I had to remember which tools I needed, and what order to do everything. But it all went quite smoothly, and this morning there was a nice thick krausen in my fermentor. Success!!! I'm really looking forward to enjoying this one over the cold winter months. Perhaps a good football watching beer? Hooray, beer!

Woo hoo !!!
I myself was not as lucky as lost power (and part of a tree blocking my driveway meaning I could not make it to the LHBS). But, it gives me something to look forward to for next weekend!!!

Wow, it looks like everybody had a big brewing weekend. I feel like I'm not part of the club as I didn't brew this weekend. You can flog me now.

The Disciples will correct me if I'm wrong I hope but I think brewery reviews allow a pass.
Awesome to hear Evily getting back in and having a smooth day keeps my unable to brew spirits up.
Jump in there and get another in the pipeline so those don't get lonely.

I am already thinking ahead to what I'll brew up next.
Hmmm... perhaps a nice IPA or APA? Decisions, decisions...
