So I brewed three seperate brews. All three were my first AG brews. As expected, the first brew came out OK, the second was pretty good, and the third was probably the best brew I have made to date.
The three beers were good, but I didn't think that they were great by any means. I have been comparing my beer and striving to reach commercial craft brew quality. I am sure all of you do too, and probably exceed it at times.
I decided to stick my neck out and serve all three brews at my little sisters wedding. The 100 guests had the choice of my three beers; Half Assed IPA, Dank Pale Ale, and Fresh IPA, or they could drink from the keg of Coors, keg of Mac & Jacks, or wine.
My kegs blew first in about 2 hours. I had a lot of compliments on how good my beer was too! It was a very proud moment for me in my infant stage of this awesome hobby.
So I realized while I need to keep my expectations high for myself maybe I need to take it a little easy when it comes to my self criticism.
Anybody else feel like they are a little too judgemental on their own homebrew?
