After a very nasty day at the office, I've just opened my first bottle from my first brew slightly more than two weeks earlier than I'd planned.
This particular bottle was only sealed with a wine stopper so wasn't expecting much fizz, and indeed you can only detect anything once on the tongue - no bubbles or head in the glass at all. I was concerned I hadn't added enough priming sugar as well, but won't be sure til I open one of the properly capped bottles.
Despite this, it tastes great (if I do say so myself) and is clear as anything. In fact, it looks just like a large glass of whisky as it sits happily on my desk while I type these words.
I love this brewing thing, and can't wait to get some more going. Very pleased with the bitterness but not as strong and malty as I would ideally like, so will adjust accordingly.
Happy brewing
