Yesterday, J.P. scoured all the equipment and then set about to brew from the Rogue kit. For the most part, everything went really well. We had been concerned about the yeast because we forgot to refrigerate it when it arrived. We smacked the Pacman yeast packet and popped the inner pouch and after a few hours, it had expanded to the point where we thought it was going to explode.
We wrapped the grains and the various flavor, aroma, and finishing hops into individual little cheese cloth packets. After much steeping and bubbling, we finally got everything into the carboy. Now we just need to let the happy fermentation proceed!
