I did my first brew yesterday.
- Not running my exhaust hood was definitely nice.
- Definitely some DMS "aroma" coming off the water which I just ran it into a bucket this time. I'm going to get a drain to the sealed sump pump set up before the next session which should make a dramatic difference.
- 35% power was still a little high for me. I had some hop material buildup above the boil line indicating some foaming so I'm going to drop a couple percent for the next brew.
- My OG was off by 4 points, not terrible, but more than I'm used to (usually get +/-2) I completely forgot to check my post-boil volume but suspect my boiloff was slightly lower than my water test.
