First try

[dobeluvr]

Made first homebrew on July 26. It is a Muntons Continental Pilsner. I just followed the instructions, with the exception of leaving it in the primary fementor longer. It a no boil recipe. I just wanted something easy to try, and this kit was extremely easy and quick. I would've bottled it after a week per instructions, but after lurking here a while, i decided to wait about three weeks. Today, I opened the fermenter, and after getting past the yeast smell, it looked exactly like beer. Probably bottling Sunday depending on sg.., something else I learned on here. Og was 1043, reading today is 1012, for those that seem to ask.

Congrats on the first brew! I'm impressed with gravity readings on the first out!

Isn't that awesome the first time? Absolutely amazing...
