No turning back now. Got my grains ground and I'm ten minutes into the mash. It's just like riding a bicycle.

LOOK MA!! NO HANDS!! AHHHHH NOOOOO BOIL OVER!! Keep your eye on the prize!

Your clearly the master of doin it!

Good for you! Get back into the swing of it!

The beer is in the bucket and now I do the waiting thing for the bubbler to start dancing.

I did "slip my chain" once though. I racked the wort into the bucket, aerated it, pitched the yeast, waited about ten minutes, stirred the wort up into a nice froth, put on the cover and bubbler and put the bucket into it's fermentation chamber. Right then I realized I had forgotten to take a gravity reading. Oh well. I've made this beer before so I know about where the ABV will end up.

Brew on!

Whooo Hooooooo!!! You show that wort who's boss Chuck.

I was worried for a moment. I've broken each arm riding a bike! Brewing is much safer.

Brew responsively and often, it's the right thing to do.

Let me tell ya'. I feel like a kid again! I knew that I missed brewing over the past summer months but I never realized just how much. I went down into the cellar yesterday morning to check on the beer and by shining a flashlight through the bucket I could see that it had krausened like mad over night. If I had made a four gallon batch instead of a three it may have blown the bubbler. The bubbler itself - in which I had put some star-san solution - was full of bubbles and had evidence of foam on it's top.

It's going to be a good beer-making season.

You lucky devil you.
