You wont know if your first batch is TRULY messed up until its run its gamut of brewing cycles. *Cough*3weeksinthebottleregardlessofwhattheheckthe primarylookslike*Cough*

Chances are you are going to love this batch and look back on this and laugh. I am still amazed by things that I see happen to my beer, and Im a good very many batches in. To this day, my beer still does stuff I dont get or agree with. But it still all comes out yummy with some age.

thanks for the reassurance. It's just that my sister and brother have both failed miserably at making beer. granted that they aren't a perfectionist like i am. they said "you are going to fail at this like we both did" they are both older than i am as well. sooo i hope pale ale it a good one to start out with

Otherwise you'll have delicious beer to mock your brother and sister with...
