im doing an irish red tonight w00t!

maybe you should just squeeze a lemon into the beer when you drink it? sorry im n00b im just throwing it out there.

sorry to hear that, man. im afraid my latest batch is also 'bad', but im giving it the full 3 weeks before i truly judge it. tasted after 1 week, and it had a strange pickly taste, yes like pickles. please please please let that change :( 3 weeks is this tuesday and i have my fingers crossed.

arg! i didnt make it...didnt brew this weekend.

need to hit up my LHBS but i plan to brew a Scottish Ale this saturday. all that talk about cream cheese stufed, bacon wrapped peppers has me drooling. i'll definitely be barbequeing something to go along with my 3-week-bottled Porter Ale that i plan to dive into.
