That would be me. Tonight is the night that I’ll begin my trek into the homebrewing world. Back in February, Erika bought me a homebrewing kit and I’m just now getting around to making it. The kit says that it will make a Pale Ale. It looks real legit, but can of hopped malt extract also says that the IBU’s (international bitterness units) are somewhere around 25. 25? 25? I’ve had milk stouts with more IBU’s. I’m shooting more for 45-55 IBU’s. That may end up being way too bitter as I’ve never tasted how strong the malt being used is. Either way, today is an excellent day to brew. Pictures documenting the brewing will be forthcoming.
