Brewing!

We have started to brew beer.
For our first attempt, we are brewing an Amber Ale.

All the supplies

Here are all of the ingredients.

First we steeped the grains then added the malt extract.

Once everything was boiling we added the hops.

Once everything has cooled down, we strained off the solids and put the brew in this primary fermentation bucket. Then we added the yeast and sealed it up. It will be in here for about a week then we transfer it to our secondary fermentation carboy. We did taste our un-fermented beer before we added the yeast and it tasted pretty good. The yeast are working, and the bubbles coming out of the fermenter smell like beer (that's a good sign).
