    4th beer is a success!

    So after 3 less than good batches, I opened my first bottle from my 4th batch tonight. While it's not the greatest IPA in the world it's the best beer I've made to date and the first one I would say is presentable.

    So since my visit to the LHBS required me to spend more than $10 because I had to pay with a credit card cause my wallet needed some time away from me after this weekend, I bought an IPA recipe they had on hand. The thing is it calls for LME instead of DME which is what I'm used to dealing...

    1st Beer

    So I opened up my first beer from the 1st batch I start on 12/18. It has kind of a sour flavor to it. It may not be the best beer I've ever had, but it's the best beer I've made.
