Hello,
I am brand new to brewing, my wife got me a kit for Christmas and my birthday and I have loved doing it, although I feel like I have no idea what I am doing. I am very lucky in that I have a local homebrew supply store less than five minutes away, here in Ogden, UT.
My first brew was a hefeweizen that I'm not sure how it's going to turn out, it's in the second week of bottling and it just doesn't taste very good. I'm not sure if it's from it not being fully carbonated yet or if it's because I was using an electric stovetop that could barely form bubbles in the bottom of the three gallons of extract and water I was attempting to boil. The beer is very dark and cloudy, wondering if anyone has any insight on this?
My second time around, I went and bought an outdoor stove that was able to boil my wort without issues, and it was a lot more fun doing it outside. I have a raspberry ale in primary fermentation right now that I'm excited to bottle and try out, I feel fairly confident about this one but we'll see how it ends up.
