Ye ol' ingredients.


Ye ol' brew pot.


Steepin' the grains.


Ye ol' sanitizing bucket.


Coolin' down the wort.

Man, that looks awesome!
I meant to call you saturday to see how things were going / foaming. I see you went for the blow-off tube, how did that go? I think next time I am definately going to have to do it in a carboy to be able to watch the whole process.

Question: Have you been watching the liquid level in the carboy as it has been fermenting? One supposed downside of the blowoff tube is that you may loose about a quart of beer, but that seems awfully high to me.

That is awesome. Can't wait to see it first hand.
