I've wanted to get involved in brewing for the longest time and I've finally got my first batch brewed, fermented, and bottled. I jumped right into all-grain and my first batch was from the amber recipe in Palmer's book. I taste tested about 4 ounces at the end of the bottling process and I think this is going to turn out very well!
I'd done a great deal of reading for the last year or so but was still pretty nervous about screwing something up but everything went more smoothly than I had even hoped. One glitch that I will learn from - I didn't invest in the wort chiller and went with the ice bath but I didn't get enough ice and it took forever to cool the wort. It was still a couple degrees higher than it should have been when I pitched but I think this is going to be a real good first batch!
