Just tried my first bottle and it is far and away the best beer I've ever made. Holy crap!
I mean... HOLY CRAP THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BEERS I'VE EVER HAD type of holy crap.
I have been brewing all grain for a few years now (extract for a year or 2 before that), reading, listening to podcasts, reading more, making mistakes, brewing ok beers, etc. and have never executed a brew so flawlessly. The brew session, the fermentation, the bottling, etc finally seemed to fall into place.
I am beside myself drinking this beer. My wife is drinking her first dogfish pumpkin of the year and simultaneously ignoring my achievement.
