Homebrewing!

Stopped by the homebrew store after class today...not only did he have the EXACT gasket I needed, he was also super helpful. I picked up a gasket (for water trap), a new water trap(allows co2 to escape during fermentation without letting outside stuff in), a bottle brush (for sterilizing glass bottles), and a long handled spoon to stir the wort. (beer before yeast).

I was trying to say 23 liters, but instead I said 23 meters. Haha. He suggested "that's closer to 6 imperial gallons, if that's what you're used to" Me: "You can tell?" Him "Just a guess."

On my way out the door, he said "4 things, mate. Keep everything sterile. Hygiene is very important. Temperature. Don't let it brew too hot. Quality ingredients. If you buy crap, you'll make crap. Finally, patience. Good beer gets better in the bottle!"

We'll see how this turns out, I plan on starting the fermentation process tonight.

For now, it's off to Rugby practice!
