Homebrew Pics

Here are the first two batches that I have done so far...both Austin Homebrew Supply extract kits.

AHS Promotional Amber - This one was a partial boil...first batch ever.



AHS Bavarian Hefeweizen - This one was a full boil, came out good but I can't say I'm a huge fan of the cloviness, think I like the American Hefe's better (IMO).



They are both super tasty...it ain't hard at all to make some good beer, especially with an AHS kit.

They both look very good. Congrats.

good work! it sure is fun ain't it? your wifey can make a cake, but YOU can make beer! :rockin:

Very Nice! I too didn't like the clove-y-ness of the bavarian hefe. You need to crank up your temps next time. I split the AHS Bavarian hefe into 2 fermenters and by a landslide of a vote people enjoyed the one fermented at 76 F.

76 sounds pretty warm I thought 68-72 was for a balanced clove/banana flavor, or were you going full banana?

Oh i was going full alright . It turned out good that bmc people prefered the banana flavor over the clove. It was just amazingly good.

Congrats, looks tastey

Here's a pic of one of my weizens without the hefe poured in the glass...

The little dots in the brew are carbonation bubbles...

thought we all like to show off

Double bock has to be in an celebrator glass.
