And it was OK, but just OK. I brewed a Nukey Brown Ale from Northern Brewers on June 20th. It sat in primary for 3 weeks then secondary for 2 weeks and finally in the bottle for 2 weeks (OK, it would be 2 weeks tomorrow). Oh yeah, and the last 2 days in the fridge.
The beer poured with a nice head and the taste was in line with what I expected. The OK part comes from a bit of an after taste. I've read posts about esters and descriptions of off tastes but I'm not sure if this is one of those. I can say when you are swallowing it tastes great, it's just that when you stop, there is this taste/aroma thing. Is that an ester?
Anyway, I am going to celebrate by drinking another one and then brewing an Extra Pale Ale tomorrow. Thanks to all for answering all my n00b questions and for so many great ideas to make this next go round even better!
