I remember the nervous feeling when waking up the next morning thinking that somehow the fermentation, that I'd killed the yeast, or bad yeast etc, that it wouldn't start and I'd be left with a big vat of stinky brown sludge....
I used to love homebrewing, clean, clean, and more clean, that's the key! I used to order supplies from
www.alternativebeverage.com
Have fun.
