Default I am totally pumped about the APA I bottled last night

It was my first AG brew: a single-hopped APA with Columbus hops.

First off, it was by far the clearest beer I've ever bottled. I changed many things about my technique on this batch (went AG, used keggle w/ filtering siphon tube for first time, etc), so I'm not sure exactly why, but the clarity is well above anything I've ever gotten.

But what I'm really pumped about is the taste: it tastes great even flat and green. I'm convinced this is going to be the best beer I ever brewed. I was going to prime w/ DME, but it tasted so good that I used corn sugar instead so I wouldn't hvae to wait as long to drink it!

Excellent, well done!

I'm impatiently waiting for my first AG hefeweizen & ESB to mature

I made a schoolboy mistake and tasted my hefe after 2 days in the bottle (I couldn't resist) and, as expected, it tasted bizarre.
