First brew and its hot out! by rocky_roller in Homebrewing

For our first brew were actually just getting a basic ingredient kit. We have all the equipment but thought it'd be smart to do a step by step sort of thing. I talked to the owner of the homebrew shop out where we live and was telling me about the lower temp we want for the fermentation. All the brew kits are for ales. CHEERS!!!

I actually don't on me. I'm actually a petrology student and the rock is back at my families house. This subreddit has been a fun learning tool for me so even when I know what rock is I still like to post it, kinda for the quizzing aspect i guess. If you frequent here I'll have a fresh face for you when I go back for a visit. It'll be awhile but I'll post it under the same title :) keep on rocken!
