Hot Damn! Put a bottle of my British Bitter in the fridge yesterday to see how the carbonating was doing. It had been in the bottle for two weeks today so I was curious.
I had no idea what to expect so I slowly twisted the cap off over the sink and heard the lovely and familiar sound of carbonation swooshing out. Awesome, I was about half expecting a gusher, but no, it's good.
Slowly poured it into a pint glass, nice half inch of foam on top and bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. It looked clear in the bottle, but once poured it was a little hazy. But the important part obviously is taste! Hey, even tho young, this tastes good! I've drank quite a bit of genuine bitter in England in the past, so I knew what this should taste like. I'll be damned, it tastes "right". Malty, just a tad bitter, just the slightest hint of alcohol, very, very drinkable. In fact, before I knew it the pint was gone.
Needless to say, I'm ecstatic over how well my first brew turned out. This was a NB extract kit and I'll be cooking it up again soon. :cross:
