Whoa, I brewed the same beer on the 6th, bottled the 20th. I'm not getting any off flavors. I tried one on Christmas, it was fantastic. Malty flavor with subtle hops flavor to balance. Very smooth, delicious ale, but I'm going to let them be in the bottles for 2 weeks after bottling. I hope...

Ok so I tried my first home brew on Christmas, it was amazing. Plenty of carb, was shocked. I only poured one beer, and the whole family tried it, everyone loved it. I know it's only going to get better if i let it continue to condition in the bottles. I was ready to not enjoy this beer...

Thanks Pappers - right now temp is fairly constant 70, might move it closer to furnace to get warmer

sorry, I'm just going to have one myself on Christmas as a gift to myself. I'm expecting it to be pretty flat as it's only been carbonating for 5 days. If it was good enough I would pour some for family members, but I'm thinking it will be far from ready. I was wondering if anyone knew any...

I've read that there are things you can add to help with an apple flavor...but as for the bitterness, I've read several posts saying the same thing, and that with time the bitterness mellowed into a wonderful beer. Hoping it turns out good for you.

Thanks guys for the replies. Great news... thing is bubbling like crazy... one every 3 seconds or so. I'm so pumped. I used star san to sanitize, and my brother came over to help brew. He comes from a time when beach water was really the only thing to use supposedly. He could not wrap...

All in all, I am thrilled to one be new to home brewing, and second to be a part of this community. There is a lot of great people on here, and I have learned a lot. Today I made a Autumn Ale from Midwest (extract) and had a blast. Everything went great, even chilled the wort in the...
