So finally after 2 weeks in the brew keg, and three weeks in the bottle I popped open a west coast pale ale.
Yuck...its like a cross between a high life and a old style. Was too cidery, yet way too bubbly
Its got almost enough carbonation like a pop or a bottle of champagne.
Rather dissapointed, but I used everythign with the kit it came with (booster that yeast etc and sugar for the carbonation.) lesson learned I guess.
Got in my keg now the whispering wheat from the sampler pack. I replaced the booster with a bag of DME, and got some better yeast. Hopefully this time around things will be better. Also, got the carb tabs instead of sugar to place in the bottles.
Overall, Its definitely a ton of fun to do it all and I can definitely see me upgrading to a 5 gal kit very very soon.
