The Tasting

By Mike | August 15, 2007

Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for. Well maybe not you so much, but it is the day I’ve been waiting for. Today is the day I finally get to taste my first brew.

And it was great. I’m not quite down with proper beer tasting jargon just yet, but it tasted like beer and that’s all I was hoping for. It was defiantly on the sweeter side as I don’t think the pre-hopped extract I got was very hoppy, something I’ll change next time, but other then that it was perfect. It was a little more red, and not quite as dark as in the pictures, but it was a nice deep color.

I was a little worried that it would be flat. Its been hot here during the past week and I was a little worried the temperature wasn’t quite right for yeast to survive after I bottled it, but it was fine.

Now I have two things left to worry about. How many of my remaining beers should I share with family and friends as and what should I brew next.
