About 6 weeks ago to the day, I brewed my first batch of beer. I chose a Belgian dubbel randomly because I had a few recently that I liked. After I made it, I thought that maybe choosing a dubbel was a little aggressive for my first try.
Well, I just cracked open my first bottle and it tastes just like a dubbel. Nice head, nice carbonation, nice color. Whew, I was worried it would be messed up somehow and I'd have 50 bottles of crappy beer. Damn, I am psyched. I have a cream ale in the secondary now, and I can't wait to bottle that in a week or two.
Now, to figure out what to make next...and chill a couple more dubbels.
