First Brew...Success!

Well, I couldn't wait any longer, I just had to try a bottle from my first ever batch even though it's only been a week. The beer is still a little green, but it's well carbed and tastes like an Irish Red. I absolutely cannot believe it. Thanks to all from the board who answered my questions and alleyed my fears.

Congrats !

It looks great. Just make sure you save a few to see how they mature in a few weeks/months.

Cheers.

Congratulations, and cheers!

Looks very tasty
I'm very impressed you were patient enough to add labels to your first batch.

congrats man.. ill be there soon!

congrats! I'm suprised you held out a week before having one

Certainly looks like beer. That is a decent amount of Carb for a week too. Congrats on your maiden brew. Now that you have tried your first brew, the challenges will be:1-stay away from it and let it age a little. 2- Brewing enough to keep a supply.

I am still having issues with both, though I drink 6 month stout all weekend and it was fantastic.

Looks good, great label too!

Boy, am I with you on that! My first batch ever got transfered to the secondary after one week. When I opened the top of primary after that first week...it looked like beer, smelled like beer and tasted like a flat beer. But, I'm holding out....I'm trying for the 1 week in primary, 1 week in secondary and then two weeks in the bottle, for a whole month.....it's killing me. I'll tell you this, brewing has made me a lot more patient.
