Homebrew Experiment Part I: First Thoughts

All seemed to go well in my first homebrew experience. What amazed me is how simple the brewing process is (at least when you're using an extract kit). A lot of boiling and waiting and taking in the delicious smell of the wort. Seriously, that aroma is fantastic. Of course, drinking beer whilst making beer does make it that much more fun. Also, the fact that none of us got carbon monoxide poisoning as we were boiling the wort on the porch helps as well. We'll see the results in six weeks.

Hopefully, we'll get around to doing another batch in a month or two so we can keep this system going. And the more we do, the more risks we can start taking with flavors, which just translates into more fun to me.
