First my friend Ben starts brewing. Then the secretary at work. Then my brother-in-law. Then a friend lends me his chiller and bottling equipment. My fate was sealed.

The first weekend of December 2004, I finally did something about it.

Description : My first batch brewing away. It was a wheat extract beer, with half a pound of munich malt to add a little body. Hops were cascade and tettnanger. Original gravity was 1.046.

As of this writing I'm waiting to see how it turns out.

Description : scottish-ish boil

an ice storm came through PDX a few days before this shot was taken. you can see traces of ice on the lawn. strangely enough, it warmed up to the low 50s the weekend of my brewing, so this wasn't as cold an experience as the ice suggests.

Description : the scottish-ish continues...

I had too much liquid in this batch (six gallons) at an OG of 1.041, and it didn't come out that great. perfectly drinkable, with no off-flavors, but lacking in... just about everything. I think the identical recipie into five gallons would have been just about right.
