I live in Colorado and I love beer. 'nuf said. Here's my untappd profile --> https://untappd.com/user/GothamVengeance
I'm fairly new to homebrewing, having started in late 2013. My palate leans towards flavorful and boozy IPAs and Stouts. I also enjoy a refreshing pale ale or Kolsch on a hot summer day. However, please don't pester me with your sour, wheat, or any beer made with a belgian yeast. Me no likey.
Cheers!

First all-grain by myself. Naming this one "Half Purple Toe" because i injured my foot on the stairs and brewed with an injured toe that had turned purple. 1 week Primary, 2 week Secondary (11 day dry hop).{Bottling Note: I pulled out the hop muslin from the secondary prior to transfer to bottling bucket. This resulted in all of the hop liquid being squeezed from the bag and into the beer. Could be good, or bad, don't know yet.}

First brew by myself with no help. The only difficult part was handling the wort chiller. I also forgot to heat up the sparge water during the mash in time, so the mash was a bit longer than 45 minutes. Lastly, I had to boil the water with priming sugar twice due to a cooling misshap where ice water got into the priming sugar water vessel (not sure if I lost any sugar in the process).1 week primary 2 week secondary (with dry hop at 5 days)

Cold and snow during boil. Didn't use lid. The amount of water for the mini-mash seemed to be very low considering the nearly 7 pounds of grains in the mini-mash. Would recommend increasing water next time by an additional 2/3.

snow fall during boil and cooling. OG far lower than target. French oak cubes soaked in Buffalo Trace for 1 week, added to secondary for 3 weeks. Initial taste at bottling makes me believe I could have added more Buffalo Trace to the secondary to enhance the burbon flavor. There was barely a hint of burbon. Will probably taste it after 31 days of conditioning, but target 3 months before drinking it regularly.
