first brew a great success.

[PUGBREW]

I brewed up my first batch after helping friends brew several batches. My first batch is a clone of Fat Tire. I called it chewed tire since my dog was chewing on a tire toy the whole time I was brewing. Came out great. I drank one next to a fat tire and they are almost identical. Wife thought it was good and she isn't much of a beer fan. I will have to try it out with a few friends tomorrow and see what they think. I will post friends comments when I get them and I won't hold anything back. I am very happy with it though. It is such a cool feeling brewing you first beer and it comes out great.

Cheers everyone.

Always good to hear the success stories from the first batch. Cheers to many more successes to come.

I feel the same way. I brewed my first batch a month ago. Its been in bottles for 2.5 weeks, and I sampled it this past saturday. I am so very pleased with it. I am kicking myself for not getting into this earlier, since I've been saying to myself "I should start brewing beer" for YEARS.

I found a recipe for fat tire in the BYO mag. I learned a lot about brewing from helping friends brew a few batches. I have also seen a extract recipe on the forum. I will pull out the recipe and post it on here if you would like.
