First glass of my first brew

[scm81]

After a long 7 week wait I was able to try my first glass of home brew ever. It's only been in bottles for 2 weeks but couldn't resist. Put one bottle in the fridge for 2 days and just cracked it open. I was pleasantly surprised that this is one mighty fine beer! It's a American pale ale. Thanks to this forum I answered a ton of questions that I had and think that it turned out better because of it. Cheers!

[Hello]

Isn't it wonderful? We make a drinkable product that is fun to make and the end game is awesome.
Congrats!

Why is a bottle cap in the glass? Just wondering...

Congrats! Gotta love a head you can float a cap on!

I've always heard people say that a good head on a beer should be able to float a bottle cap. Had to try. No worries, I took it right back out.

There nothing better than cracking open the first home brew! Except maybe cracking open the second... and third...

Nice work!

I've had a fat tire clone recipe in primary now for 2 weeks. Should be in bottles in a week or 2. It's always been one of my favorite amber beers so I am really looking forward to seeing the results.
I think I want to try a wheat beer with berries next.

Congratulations! It's such a great feeling when you open that first homebrew and all that work/patience pays off

cheers!

I still remember the first bottle of my first beer. felt the same way, as I imagine most of us did. Perk as a ruttin' buck to finally sample something new we've wrought with our own hands & brains. Here's a shot of it, the Cooper's OS Lager that came with my Micro Brew kit.

It definitely needs a hair more bittering & some late flavor hops. but I was so proud that even with some noob mistakes, it came out good & my wife discovered that she liked ales! Nas dah rove yie!

Ahh. Ok, I've never heard people say that from where I come from. The only thing I ever heard about a good head was, ... oh, wait, never mind.

Both of those sound good! Again, congrats on the first.
