For Christmas, I received a Cooper's Microbrewery Kit. It has everything I need to start making extract brews. The kit comes with a Lager extract, which I will be using for my first batch. I will keep this blog updated with my progress on this and future brews.
On the evening of New Year's Day, I pitched the yeast and began the fermentation. Original Gravity (OG) was measured at 1.042 prior to pitching. It took about 18 hours for the airlock to start bubbling, and is now bubbling steadily after about 36 hours. The fermenting wort is sitting steadily at 22 C. I get to play the waiting game now - I will be bottling sometime between January 11 and 15. No pictures for now since I can't locate my camera.
