    brewed first fruit beer...bitter!

    Subscribed. I'm having the same issue. I brewed a Raspberry Honey Ale May 1. Used real raspberries in the secondary and it was a bitter bad boy at bottle time.

    Amber Lager?

    I brewed this one 011609. Havent tasted it yet as it's still lagering but when I transfered to secondary I took a big 'ol whiff. The hop aroma was crazy. Based on that I'd say leave it be.

    NB Tongue Splitter - Opinions? And a question

    Brewed it 051808. Still have a few left. Good beer. My first dry hopped brew. Very hoppy, deffinately overpowers the grain. I also brewed NB's extra Pale Ale and enjoyed it more but the Tongue Splitter was not a waste of maoney by any means
