We enjoyed our first brew last night. We did the AHS Belgian White for our first ever attempt. I have to admit I was scared it wouldn't turn out given how much of a process went into brewing, fermenting and then force carbonating the beer but it all pulled out ok. It looked exactly like the picture and pretty much exactly like other Belgian Whites I'd had in the past. The carbonation process went well also and it was done just right.
However the beer was quite sweet. I was pretty sure the fermentation process was done based on the behaviour of the airlock and the hydrometer readings. We did use an alcohol booster and I suspect that might've been the reason for that being that it's just extra sugar. Any suggestions or tips on this would be appreciated?
It's ok though. Everyone enjoyed the experience. The first glass was great but most had trouble drinking more than two because of the sugar. Women liked it alot since it was so sweet.
