It's popular to give the beer you have brewed a name. Like we can suddenly somehow identify with the beer itself. Like an old college buddy or something?
If that's the case, and yes I really suspect it is...what was the name of your very first batch?
As of today - and a new brewer suddenly - my first batch is now named "Zatoichi Ale". Zatoichi was the name of a warrior monk in Japan - incredibly famous for his movies - where he had no sight, yet could fight, smell, hear, and feel his way out of a bloody battle.
Whats Zatoichi? Well, think : Bruce Lee, but he's Japanese, and blind, with a katana. Oh, and wearing sandals. Yeah...that's Zatoichi.
I mostly read and smelled and read some more - then brewed this beer how I *thought* it should be brewed...for what that's worth. The IBU of the hops, brew time, extract, OG, and the FG is helpful - but can become noise and chatter in the background.
Glass vs. plastic fermentors. Neo vs. Agent Smith.
