My First SOLO Brew

Today marks the occasion of my very first - one hundred percent - SOLO brew!  Caribou Slobber has entered phase one.

Activate the yeast, yup, the pack has been "smacked" and is in the process of expanding.

Getting everything ready to brew.

The "dry" ingredients.

The "tea bag" of grain.

Steeping the grain.

Still steeping.

Adding the liquid malt.

Dry malt added too.

The 60min boil begins.

Adding the second of three types of hops - smelled so good.

Cooling the wort.

The wort's been transferred to the first fermentation bucket and is continuing to cool.

The expanded yeast is about to go into the bucket.

Yeast's been pitched, cover's on, air lock in place ... now we wait for fermentation to begin, go bubbles!
