Hello.....
I just got a brew kit from my wife for Xmas. She picked it up from home brewmart in San Diego. I think it's where they brew Ballast Point. www.homebrewmart.com. I made my first batch of tasty West Coast Pale Ale. The beer has now been bottled for two weeks and I cracked open my first bottle tonight. Icey Cold and Super Tasty. I ended up just using one of the starter kits and the beer is great. I need some one else's opinion. I left in the fermenter exactly 21 days. I am going to brew ballast points yellow tail pale ale next. Im interested in finding out how it tastes. Also, do you think it's better to brew batches of beer in a staggered formation?
Im also interested in a little bit of a non hoppy beer, something more like an amber lager. Any reciepe tips would be great.
Also, if you could give a new brewer five easy tips that you learned from your own mistakes what would they be?
Thanks,
JLew
