I was pleased with this.

Although it was a long day,I enjoyed it despite getting a bit stressed at times.I made loads of notes to see me through before I started.Also kept a log of my brew day.
Today was made easier by the knowledge I have gained from this great Website.I always keep a notebook handy when I'm online.

Here's to my next brew day.

Cheers.

Excellent - sounds like you had a good day
