This morning the brew was bubbling. So far so good.

Tonight we opened the brew box, cleaned up the equipment, got started on our first batch, and drank some good beer.

Lessons learned:

• Keep a close eye on the wort as it boils to prevent spillage!
• Need to buy a bigger funnel to transfer the wort and prevent spillage!
• Need a cooking thermometer for the wort.
