Mr. Beer!

So, my wife got me a home-brewing kit for Christmas last year, and I finally got around to using it. My first batch of home-brew is, well, er...it's doing something right now in the basement.

I'm not sure how good this is going to turn out. I replaced half of the "booster" mix that they included with brown sugar, to make the beer a little darker. (The wife got me all pale mixes...yuch!) On top of that, when I was filling the keg, I was using a spray nozzle from the sink, because it was easier than using my brain. So, the mixture foamed up pretty bad before I put the yeast in. Hopefully that won't screw it up too bad.

Hopefully it doesn't explode.
