Hi all. Glad to have found a forum for home brew enthusiasts such as myself. I look forward to learning a lot from the more experienced brew masters.
My first batch was an American Pale that turned out really flat and I unfortunately got some of the yeast sludge in my bottling process. All dry malt extract.
The second I tried a liquid malt extract that just called for a timed boiling. It was a rich Belgian porter that I thought had too much of a wine taste and I wasn't a fan. I had a friend who was a fan though, so that bolstered my confidence.
Tonight, I bottled a London Porter which I have high hopes for. The color was brown/red as described. I'm a little worried about the ABV. If I read it right, it is showing 9.8%. Is that normal for a London Porter?
My next adventure is going to be an IPA.
