Thanks Jon... The good news in all of this -- I can always make more ;-)

Thanks LowTones84... I think I'll take your advise and try one today, can't hurt. Plenty more brewing ahead of me and this is my first batch. I figure if I try one today I'll know what it tastes like at different stages, I would imagine this will only help me later... I am not even sure what...
