Well, my first batch is just turning 6 weeks this Saturday so i decided to try one and see how it's coming along (of course it being my first batch i tried a couple along the way to see how it's aging
) and it's just about perfect! BTW it was a Nut Brown Ale with a tiny bit of hazelnut extract in it. For a while i was worried because it tasted pretty watery. I attributed this to not steeping the grains long enough or correctly. But after trying one just now i'm thoroughly pleased! I'm convinced now that the watery flavor was just from the beer being green. It has a great balance with no watery flavors. The only thing that could be better (and i'm sure this will come with a little more time) is the head disappears pretty quick. But otherwise the beer is well carbed and i can't complain at all!
