Just tried my first brew from my first ever batch of beer.. MrB's West Coast Pale Ale... I through one bottle in the fridge Friday after patiently staring at it for 2 weeks in the leg and another one in the bottle. I left the others to condition another week before I throw them in the fridge as well.
All I can say is.. It's at least beer. Reminds me a bit of miller lite.. Or some other cheap brew. It smells a lot better than it tastes. No sweetness to it, just a bit of alcohol that I can detect. Otherwise pretty bland. Of course I pretty much only drink craft beers or the occasional SA Boston lager so my preferences may be skewed.
I already have a second batch of cold maple wheat in the MrB keg. It should go in bottles next week. I hope it's a bit more exciting.
Now finally the questions. I want to get the equipment for a 2.5 gallon setup. I am considering BIAB in the near future as well. Is there something close to 2.5 gallons I can use as a secondary? Will a 3 gallon better bottle leave to much headspace to be a secondary?? Is there somewhere I can get a 2.5 liter glass carboy?
Thanks in advance!
