thank you for the comments everyone! so I moved my summer ale to the secondary! and then I got a little impatient and paranoid that my first batch wasn't carbonated... so after only 5 days conditioning I thought I open 1.... I was fully expecting it wouldn't be perfect because I know I didn't...

My beautiful bottles! 42 in all! Now they can rest peacefully for a couple of weeks before the first carbed tasting.

Tomorrow is bottling day for the caribou slobber!

My kreusen on the summer ale is just about gone now. The caribou slobber is nice dark and resting in the secondary.just about gone through my blue moon pumpkin ale from the store.i'm gonna buy some shipyard pumpkin head next.by the time i'm done that bottling day will have come and gone! I can't...

It's bubbling away!

Ok just brewed my second beer. It is the summer ale I wrote about. Here they are side by side. I love the color difference!

So I just moved the slobber to secondary. Smells and tastes like beer, a little weak tasting but i feel that is simply because i am not used to drinking flat beer. 1.023 gravity. I just bought my hydrometer today and a summer wheat kit that was on "sale."

My beautiful Caribou Slobber from Northern Brewer! My grandmother used to brew beer all the time. Now I've picked it up and here is my first. It's only been five days so far and I thoroughly enjoy checking my carboy every day.
