    First Brew = sourness in the finish

    yes, better bottle. That could have some effect? Not sure I know. How would you describe a "slight astringency?"

    First Brew = sourness in the finish

    I think I did I good job of keeping things sanitary...I thought I was being anal about it actually.

    First Brew = sourness in the finish

    Drinking my first homebrew. I used this kit: Extra Pale Ale Extract Kit -- Kit Inventory Sheet. We fermented for 4 weeks and it has been in the bottle for 4 weeks. Color is good, aroma is good, head is pretty good, taste is mostly good other than this touch of sourness in the finish. Any...

    What Sanitisers and Cleaners are used.

    Just bottled first brew tonight!

    congrats! Just brewed my first batch today as well - an extra pale ale with a gravity of 1.042 and the kit I used said it was 1.045 so I guess I am off to a good start. :mug:

    Hello

    Hi, just found this site after seeing it mentioned in a forum elsewhere on the intertubes. I just bought a kit a few weeks ago from Northern Brewer and I am collecting bottles before I begin working on my first batch.
