First Day...

So it's our first day trying to make some beer... and of course Buffet ate the recipe last night.  I'm not even kidding.  I'll upload a picture later, but Brad's dog took our recipe out of a book and ate it.  Luckily... we were able to put it back together... so we may have to name it Buffet's Brown Experimental Ale or something like that, which lets face it, isn't entirely creative or awesome.

Other things of note:

-I soaked myself trying to fit a wort chiller onto the sink.  Half of me is wet, the other half is dry.  I'm like a badly cooked steak only not nearly as tasty 

-The brewhouse forgot to send a top to our fermenting bucket.  This seems a rather vital piece of equipment and all... so yeah, we need to go buy a bucket top this afternoon

-I really want a cookie right now

-Were going to celebrate  by cracking open a bottle of Ithaca TEN as soon as we actually get started

Also... how the hell does one sanitize something?  All I know is that if I get this stuff on me I may melt wicked witch style according to the label, but I suppose worse things have happened.
