First venture into home-brewing

So the ingredients are ordered and the date is set, Monday 14th February, Valentines Day. A day where chemistry is rife and temperatures rise. Fellow collaborator and veteran Toadie, Will Inman, and I, have decided on a Saison (Belgian Farmhouse Ale) with an American hop kick.

We have Maris Otter Malts and Pilsner Malts representing 'Team Malt', a vial of WLP550  Belgian Ale Yeast to look after the yeast side of things and Amarillo and Citra hops to give us what we expect to be a citrus/clove spiciness along with some huge hop character of the Amarillo.

As my first attempt at home-brewing I don't really know what to expect. I know I can't wait start brewing though and I will keep you updated every step of the way.
