How exactly does one greet a group of strangers over the internet? Hello everyone. So far I've only brewed one batch, as BB American Amber Ale kit. I'm not sure what I expected it to taste like. All of the starter homebrewing reading I've done suggested that my homebrewed beer should taste something like heaven. I missed heaven by a long shot. I must admit that I was somewhat surprised when I did taste it for the first time, because it tasted like beer! I understood, intellectually, that I was making beer. But I don't think I believed, in my gut, that that stuff I boiled up and put in a plastic bucket would end up as beer, until I drank it. In the time since I've made that kit I'm convinced that I've done enough reading to go AG, but SWMBO has put the brakes on any brewing-related spending, at least until I've done a few more kits and prove that I'm going to stick with this for a while. So be it. That being said, if any other Cleveland-area brewers are interested in going to one of the local brewing clubs, like SNOB's, I'd be happy to meet up with you before going.
