Someone on the Who's Brewing this Weekend thread suggested a pic thread of Alabama brewers first official brews, so here 'tis...
My brew, a 'clean the closet' Pale Ale, so has odd hop choices
... if I were the sort to be overly witty with my names, I might call it Legale, but since I'm not of that bent, I am simply calling it Legal Pale Ale
8# pale ale malt
1# Victory
1# Carastan
Mash 45 minutes at about 152
1oz Perle 8.5aa 60 minutes
1oz Hersbrucker 5 minutes
1oz Cascade/1 oz Saaz flame out, 5 minutes steep prior to cool
OG 1.048, should have been 1.052, but I ran off a little too fast. Oh well
SO5
My first official brew also christened my rebuilt mash tun (story for another time), so we have a pic of my crazy manifold... a pic of my trusty, 20 year old enameled kettle with water heating for mash/sparge and of a nice, rolling boil... Oh yes, and I made a point of being quite visible to the neighbors while I was working!
