Just drank my first homebrew

And it was delicious as hell. I was very worried that it wouldn't turn out but it seriously blew away my expectations. We brewed a Brewer's best weizenbeer kit and then added some sweet orange peel that we bought for the hell of it. I know that its nothing new for those of you who have been doing this for awhile but I am hooked. I can't wait to brew some more, especially stuff that doesn't come from a kit.

Congrats on the first brew, always better when its drinkable. However, they almost always are. Stepping away from a kit is easy to do there are so many great recipes out there.

Nice work! Gotta love that feeling of enjoying a beer crafted by your own hands :rockin:. I never brewed using a kit, but have always been able to make good beer with the help of these guys on the forum. If you've got a style you like, check out the recipe database and find one that looks tasty.

Matt,

Welcome aboard and well done.

Well done matt! Your now officially assimilated into the homebrewing collective. Resistance is futile. :cross:

Welcome

Welcome! My 2nd brew was the same BB Weizenbier kit. Quite tasty, much more so than I'd hoped or anticipated. Here's what mine ended up looking like:

I tried my Special Bitter (well, Jamil's recipe) the other day, and it was like trying my first homebrew all over again. Every time a batch turns out even better than you'd hoped, you;'ll get that rush.
