Alright good folks, talk me out of drinking another one quick! I just opened a bottle of my second batch I've brewed and it was actually good!! This was a brewer's best Imperial nut brown ale. SWMBO helped me bottle it a week ago, and was a little disappointed I wasn't going to open one today. I told her it would probably not be carbed and it would probably need some further conditioning.. ie green beer. Well, it was mentioned more than once so I put one in the fridge to chill a bit. After 3 hours or so, I opened it. I went with the flip-top bottles and expected nothing more than the *pop* from the stopper coming out when I flipped it. What happened was more pronounced like that of a champagne cork. I was a bit shocked! Then I poured it in a glass and the nicest head began to appear! The taste is way better than my first brew, a coopers diy lager. I like this....alot! Now the hard part....waiting. So please tell me it will be way better in a few weeks and to just wait, so I don't start drinking it this week!
