Tasted my first brew today

I botteled my first batch (truebrew all malt amber) 3 days ago. I leave tomorrow for work and will be gone a month so i thought i would pop a top and try one. Well, I was shocked to say the least because its only been in the bottle 3 days but folks this is some of the best beer i have ever tasted, so i put another in the cooler for a couple of hours. Its much better chilled, a little cloudy but it has a beautiful head that stays with you and well i just couldn't believe it! I'm 1 happy beer drinker. I love this stuff

And the addiction begins.... Welcome to Home Brewing

It'll be even better in a month! Congrats!

I just hope it don't blow up while i'm gone.LOL

So it was already carbonated after 3 days? I bottled mine a week ago and it's still not carbonated enough for me to really like it, no head whatsoever

It is carbonated, the first one was hard to pour but it was warm. The chilled one poured perfect.

For some reason your homebrew always tastes better. I experience this same phenomenon.

Oh yeah...I remember my first. She was an IPA, bitter she was, but wonderful none the less. I'll never forget her.

Congrats, and welcome.

I've been away from home a month due to my job and when i got home yesterday my wife had six in the cooler waiting for me.What a difference a month makes !! 33 days in the bottle when i opened the first one.The brew was clear, fully carbonated and was not quiet as bitter. I thought this was a good brew a month ago, but I know it's good now. It pays to let it sit ! I also had another batch in the fermenter for 33 days that i just racked to a carboy for 10 more days.. I'm thinkin this one will be the good one. Now I'm waiting on a brown ale kit to come rolling up my driveway in the little brown truck.

yes mine has been in the bottle almost a week and it has a decent head that stays throughout and is carbed pretty well....And the IPA tastes hoppily bitter ...I love this hobby

Trust me.........It gets better

Your first time is always magical. Tasting your 1st batch of homebrew is pretty awesome as well

After 30 days it is so much tastier with better head retention.

Start planning your next batch now, especially if you have homebrew moocher friends like mine!

I hope I have the same luck with mines... Will start my first batch this week

I firmly believe that every brewer on this board vividly remembers his/her first beer from the very first batch! Mine was an Autumn Amber Ale from Midwest. And that first "ssssssh" when opening the cap on the bottle was awesome...as was the beer!

Enjoy the addiction!
