Brewing Update

Bottled my first batch of beer on Sunday or Monday, I can't remember. The yield was just over twenty four 22oz. bottles. They should be ready in ten to fourteen days. It tastes decent so far, and the dog liked it. It should be about 5% abv.

I started a new batch last night. We went with an amber this time. I feel much more confident about this batch, I'm not sure why, it just seemed to go smoother. It was recommended to me to taste the beer often, but I hate the taste of Wort (that is the beer before it is fermented). It tastes like soap I think.

Three things that I will be exploring: kegging, a kegerator, and a wort chiller. Those should be some fun projects.
