    Congrats, I only tried my first a couple of weeks ago and I was very exciteable! Its very tempting to crack them open very early but luckily I'm particularly lazy and the beer is kept upstairs, its a sort of artificially created patience.

    A "munch larger " not sure I've ever made one of those LOL

    It will taste MUCH better after a couple months, Congrats and every batch you make you will learn a little more and the beer will just keep getting better, it's weird.

    Like you I was pumped with my first batches - tasted great. 10 batches later I said NOW my beer is GREAT and 20 batches after that NOW my beer is MUCH better.

    Have fun and don't become an alcoholic (like must of us LOL)

    Congrats. It is very addictive though. I find myself looking for what I am going to brew next right after a brew day. Enjoy

    I just finished my last beer from my first batch last night. Ive got 15 gallons in primary/secondary or lagering. Still have 5 bottles of my second batch then I'm out until I get the rest bottles and it conditions.

    It has been a long time since I've had so much fun learning a new skill.

    congrats, just finished my 2nd (l/ coast hefe ), my son and I are newbies, like they say , "VERY ADDICTING" ,. I have one bottle left from my 1st batch, and I have to put it in my gun safe ( guns& beer yehaaaa!), because my son already drank the rest, maybe a bigger safe? Enjoy.

    Congrats Fishoe! I'm picking you got the Brewcraft set-up, and the lager was the one that came with that? Same as me. I was stunned at how good it was (because really I didn't have particularly great expectations). It just got better over time too. Believe me, if you leave that badboy for about 2 months it'll be getting real good..... I only managed to keep a couple that long.... I guess patience is one of those things that takes time to develop!
