Ready to Brew

It's official, this Saturday I am brewing! Yesterday I went to Jasper's Home Brew shop in Nashua, NH and picked up everything I needed. The owner, Jeff, is always great to talk to. I only see Jeff about 2 times a year and our conversation is mostly about one of my favorite topics: beer. Although this time he seemed very interested in the BBQ world, so we talked about NEBS, and competing on The Circuit. I also turned him on to Pigtrip, he loved that! The whole time we talked I could smell the fresh cracked grain, the pungent aroma of hops. I was surrounded by glass fermenters, stainless steel kegs, hydrometers, brew pots, malt, yeast...I could almost taste the beer I was going to be brewing that weekend. If you couldn't tell, I'm very excited. But I'm not the only one...
