A Little Setback

A weird stomach bug swept through the house, and pushed brew day back to today, but the show must go on.  The water is boiling on the stove, in two separate batches, just waiting for a pound each of DME.  I've laid out all of the hops, and am exited to try my hand at two brews at a time.

I went shopping the other day, and ended up getting another fermenter and a 1 gallon glass jug for some dry hopping trials, and maybe even some spice additions.

I am using the single, 11.5g yeast packet to pitch the two batches.  The guy at the homebrew store (http://keystonehomebrew.com/) told me I don't need to be exact, since, even if I come close, I'll still be overpitching by a little bit.

In a little less than two weeks, I'll be tasting these babies as I bottle them. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....beeeeer
