My 1st attempt at home brew went ok and I bottled it some 6 weeks ago. Some was bottled in pint bottles and the rest in smaller bottles. Now it seems to me that the beer in the pint bottles tastes way better- so here's the thing:
It makes sense to me to drink the smaller, not-so-great beers first, saving the better ones for later, but maybe if I drank the good ones now, the not-so-great ones would taste better by the time I get to them.
What would you do?
BTW- I think that the cause of the difference might be that the smaller bottles didn't get the right amount of priming sugar at bottling. Also the pint bottles were sanitised in the dishwasher and the smaller ones were a bit hit and miss with sanitisation- not that I think there is enough wrong with them to suggest infection.
