New guy from Louisiana

[user 16302]

Hi guys, I just tried my first brew and am actually sampling it as I type this. I attempted a wheat ale from a kit. I had no idea what I was doing but I must say that my beer has come out pretty good. It's a bit sweet, but pretty tasty once you get used to it. Alcohol content seems to be just about right.

I think it may not taste quite right just because only let it sit in the bottle for about 1 week or so. The rest of my brew sat in the fermenter for 4-5 days and is now bottled and ready to sit for a couple of weeks.

It will be sweet if the carbing isn't done, there are still sugars to be consumed.

Welcome to HBT maxsideburn!
Let the beers condition for another couple of weeks. You will be surprised how much they improve! Of course you need to try one every once in awhile just to be sure! :rockin:
