Wanted to first start off by saying hello to all the members, I am new to this. Also this is my first time brewing my own beer. My Dad bought me a Mr. Beer 'Pilot' Brewing kit at a yard sale which was never used. My first brew is a Red Ale bought from Mr. Beer. After reading about home brewing I have decided Mr. Beer kits are pretty much junk. But anyway, I followed these instructions http://www.mrbeer.com/images/pdf/PilotBarrelIns.v1. The instructions are very fague! My beer has been fermenting for 10 days now and it is still releasing CO2 about every 16 seconds or so. I poured some into a small glass and tasted it. It tasted horrible! It doesn't taste like beer at all. If anything it reminds me of bad cider. Plus the color isn't even red or amber it is milky light brown. I always wanted to brew my own beer and I was planning on investing in a 'real' 5 gallon setup but now I am a little discouraged. Does anyone have any advice or tips? Thank you for your help in advance. Cheers!
