Is this what a proud Dad feels like?
This website has by far been the greatest wealth of information into the beer brewing hobby. This beer has only been carbing for a week and a half, but I couldn't wait any longer. Put in the fridge for 3 days and that was the result. Tasted like a solid stout and had decent carbonation. There was a nice compacted yeast slurry in the bottom so I got most of the beer out of the bottle without leaving much behind.
Biggest things I learned from my first beer was airlock activity means nothing!! I fermented this for 4 weeks and only had activity on the second day for 12 hours. Sure enough it fermented. I wish I had a wort chiller and auto siphon for bottling but oh well. I also wish I had gotten all of the lme out of the container. Either way, I'm now addicted and have read through the forum for countless hours and have a starter decanting in the fridge for a hefeweizen to be brewed on Sunday!
