So after deciding to make beer, reading, reading reading and asking a ton of questions on here I ended up with a propane burner, Huge pot 20qt, a coopers real ale KIT, some dextrose, glass damijohns I use for wine and a sunny day, I decided to make beer.
After noting how sanitation is of the upmost concern, I was a bit nervous because my father lol did some funny things. used a piece of lumber to stir my wort, mouth siphoned etc etc but the beer turned out great.
I ended up boiling a no boil kit and adding hops to a already hopped malt extract without knowing any the better. I used dextrose because the idiot at the store convinced me not to use DME which I had planned on using lol.
Well after 14 days in primary at around 65 temp, and 14 days in bottle at the same temp I ended up with what I think is a great beer!!
It tastes great, the after taste is a bit bitter but I think it may mellow over some time and blend into the beer. Either way love drinking it now. Great aroma as well.
