Ok, all of the above are true. I DID IT!!! Took psycho precautions with sterilization -- took hydro samle -- checked it with temp adjust and then drank it. First, I guess I am indeed freaking but also know enough to say the following. My SG reading which is freaking me was only 1.022 -- does it continue or am I STUCK? Second, at least prior to tonights sample I am not infected -- tasted quite normal. Only issue that shocked me was how "thin" it was. I say that meaning almost watery or like real thin/weak(not etoh) tasting tea. Understand that it was warm and not carbed yet but does this change over time or was my fementable yield low and it is what it is?? Did have nice hop taste though. I am very excited so far but just dont understand the natural progression etc.. doc
