Last night was a big night for me, I got to drink my first ever brewed beer! Of course I've tasted samples here and there but last night was the official drinking night.
It's a vanilla weizen beer and is quite tastey. I was a little disappointed that I really couldn't taste any vanilla to speak of but am still happy with my results. I bought a beer kit and upgraded the yeast to WLP300 so the beer did have hints of banana but the vanilla bean just didn't come thru.
I kegged the beer, which in my opinion is less work than bottling, but discovered a problem which I hadn't thought of. With bottles it's easy to count how many I had, 1, 2, 3... With the keg, how many glasses did I have, 3, 4, 5...?
Needless to say, I am paying for it today (but I'm happy!)
