Have you ever brewed a batch that you didn't think would be that good, but surprised you?
My dad loves cherry coke, and last year he started drinking Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. I hate the stuff, I hate anything cherry flavored, but I thought for father's day it would be fun to give him a couple cases of homebrew cherry wheat. So I brewed, fermented, and bottled it. Yesterday I popped one open to try it, and just to kind of make sure it is ready for it's debut in a week or two, and it was delicious! The cherry was much more subtle than I pictured, it had only a lightly sweet cherry flavor, rather than the overwhelming cherry that I expected. It might not be so easy to give the whole batch away now!
I am new to brewing, it was only my 3rd batch, and, not surprisingly, each batch is getting a little better.
