So after 4 weeks, I just poured my first home brew. It is Mr. Beer's Classic American Light, or something like that. It was in the fermenter for 3 weeks, would have bottled after 2 had I not melted the plastic bottles that came w the kit in my dishwasher, and in the bottle for a week. I put one in the fridge last night to test the progress. It is slightly under-carbonated and tastes a little yeasty. I think the yeast taste could be because I didn't leave the yeast in the bottom of the bottle. The color is darker than I would expect an "American Light" to be, but that could be because I followed the Mr Beer instructions and boiled the LME. I think I'll leave the rest of them alone for another couple weeks and see how they taste then and in the mean time plan my next brew. Thanks for all the insight I have received from everyone on this forum, it has been very helpful and I have learned a lot.
