Not a big deal to all you experts but I was excited to make my first half gallon of dark amber today! Thanks for all of you that have provided advice and guidance and thanks to all that have posted. I couldn't have done it without information gained from all of you and this site. -John :D

Good Going jmp -- That is soooo great. One of my Grand-daughters and her Husband are doing their first Boil today too and haven't heard how they made out yet. A wonderful thing when a tradition is carried on ---- Again - Congratulations on Your First Boil ---- Mike

Ahhhh, product!
Congratulations!

It's very gratifying to see all the bottles and jars lined up. Although it seems that the evaporator is where all the action is, the bottling is curiously satisfying.
