Hello, my wife bought me a 5 gallon setup from northern brewers for valentines day and an amber ale kit. Mostly followed the instructions for brewing(used less hops and ran into some boiling issues) I bottled my beer 2 weeks ago and just cracked open my first bottle. I don't know why but I was terrified it wouldn't have alcohol, co2, or the taste would be off from bacteria but it was a success. I don't have a way to test the gravity but I'd put the abv at 7 or 8% which is a bit high for an amber ale but OK with me. I've known for years I wanted to give brewing a chance but just needed the push. Looking forward to learning more about the process and sharing some quality beer with friends.
