Brew Day #1 - Racer 5 IPA

I'd call it a "mostly" successful first day. I completely forgot to add 1lb of corn sugar with the malt extract, per the recipe, (I blame the real Racer 5 consumed during brewing) so we added a little less water at the end in hopes of geting closer to the expected final gravity. Original gravity was 1.07 and the recipe says we should have hit 1.072. Total brewing time was 4 hrs.

Big thanks to tgrier for providing guidance on my first brew day.
