Adventures in Brewing, Part 1

So, I'm brewing now. Amanda has brewed a few times before, and so has Ken has even more than that. This was my first time to be "in charge." Appropriately enough, my first try at brewing is pumpkin ale, just in time for Halloween.

The evening began with a trip to the brew store. Not knowing anything about it, I was happy that Amanda told me to talk with Chris. She hooked me up with everything we needed. On the way back to Amanda's, my tires failed in a way, and I skidded into an intersection in front of a cop and nearly caused an accident. I'm lucky the cop didn't ticket me. My brakes locked, my ABS didn't seem to work, and I slid very slowly, and for about 30 feet, into the intersection as people were turning left across me. Luckily, no mangled people or metal ensued.

Back at Amanda's, I got the beer going, managed the recipe, and we configured a beer and ate Chipotle for dinner. It was tasty. The beer smelled awesome! So, in 5 days, it'll be ready to be transferred into secondary fermentation, and then 10-11 days after that, bottling time! I have to do these final two parts by my lonesome, so I hope I don't screw anything up. Knowing me, it's completely possible. I have instructions, though, and I'm very ready to do my best for a tasty beer!
