I just opened the first bottle of my first home-brew beer. It's an Irish Stout from a kit/recepie from Annapolis Homebrew Supply. I made several noob mistakes along the way, mistakes I know about and others I'll likely grow to understand later. Brewed on June 5th, 11 days in primary, 8 in secondary then bottled on June 24th. So I could have let it spend more time in each step. And it's only been conditioning for two weeks - those that survive the slow attrition (bottle every couple of days) will surely improve with time. I plan to move a few bottles to the 'fridge each week - mostly so I have a homebrew to drink while I relax, brew my next batch, and give worry a holiday. But all in all, I'm very satisfied! I lurk here a lot and have learned a ton from all of you - thanks!
