Successful brew day

Looks like all went well on brew day yesterday. Only one mild boilover. Assistant brewer Jim was on hand, and we went on a pre-brew run which I believe is going to become a tradition. All went well, the beer is in the fermentor and hopefully we will get a full finished 15gal. OG for the 14.5gal that went into the fermentor was 1.060, a good bit stronger than I had calculated, which means that the brewery is getting better efficiency that I had projected for the higher volume, but once I transfer to kegs and dilute with some water it should be closer to 1.051 (projected, since it will be post-fermentation). Hopefully it will taste as good as the brew day was!

Had three other visitors, Captain Pete made a rare apperance, best-man Mike showed up to oversee the activities and ensure Jim didn't get "too close", and Rob from the BBG came by with his wife bearing dougnuts and homebrew.
