Homebrewing: First batch at the new address

For Christmas my friend Kevin gave me an ingredient kit for a Belgian Saison. Those are always make for a pleasant beer, particularly during the spring and summer. I decided to set it going over the weekend and hit only a few snags along the way. I did discover, fortuitously, that the garden hose in our new place is very near the kitchen window, and ideally placed for running water through the copper wort chiller I picked up last year. The fermentation and settling still have a few more days to go before bottling / kegging can happen, but I’m already thinking about future batches and ways to better control the process. A thermal control loop with data logging seems to be the next step!
