so i tried one of my beers last night after chilling it for about an hour. unfortunately, its still green. its gonna take at least another week or to to get to its full potential. it does have a slight off flavor, but ive read it should go away in time. when i poured it into the glass, there was little carbonation. so im starting to wonder if i made the right priming solution. i guess only time will tell.....

in the near future, i plan on getting a couple of more ingredient kits, annother fermenter, and more bottles. gotta get the pipeline started!

well, i finally bottled yesterday. Boy thats a lot of work! Now i see why everyone says to keg instead of bottle.

So, after I got home from work yesterday, i checked the fermentor to see if i still have bubbles, and I was let down :(

But, im not going to touch it for another week or so to let the yeast clean up after itself.

On a side note, my wife took her test and passed! Now when she gets her new job, I can get more equipment! Its win-win!

Just wanted to say thanks to BlowMonkey for helping me with the picture problem.

While im here, I will say the fermentation is going great! Im just curious if the boilover will change the taste of the beer.......

 so my pics didnt post......

if anyone can help me with that, id greatly appreciate it!

So, my first experience with brewing the delicious adult beverage went a little sketchy. i will get to it in a bit. without further ado......

started by sanitising EVERYTHING i was going to use for the day. I had some cleaner that came with the initial equipment, but instead went and got some 1step and used it instead.
