Hi everyone!
I did my first batch of homebrew a few weeks ago and bottled it four days ago. I did an American Red Ale extract kit with specialty grains from my LHBS. After 4 long days of bottle conditioning, I decided to give it a try knowing that it may not be fully carbonated. I was shocked at how well it came out! It definitely got me excited about my future with homebrewing and made me glad I chose this hobby.
I want to thank all of you here on HBT for helping me get started. I found a wealth of knowledge here on the HBT forum and look forward to trying some of the recipes that people have posted. For now I plan to continue doing extract recipes a few more times, but I plan to bump (Opps, should I not use this word ) up to mini mashes soon. I live in a small apartment with no backyard or garage so all-grain is out of the question for me. But once I graduate college and move into a new place, one of the things I will want is an area where I can brew all-grain. For now, I am perfectly happy with my setup!
Happy homebrewing to everyone!
Cheers
