OK, technically my second attempt, since my first attempt was a complete failure that I wouldn't classify as beer.
So I've always wanted to brew beer and recently decided to give it a shot. Like most things in my life, I jumped in with both feet and decided to go with all grain to start. I bought a Grainfather, some speidel fermenters and a bunch of other equipment.
The recipe I tried was for an african amber. I ended up modifying the recipe to give me something a little darker than the original recipe called for. The brew day went great and after two weeks in the fermenter the moment of truth came. Wow! It is awesome!
I've had it on tap now for a week and it's nearly gone. All my beer drinking friends are in love with it and I'm getting tons of growlers from people to fill up.
I know it's possible to make great beer at home, but I had no idea I could make something this awesome. Frankly, I'm shocked! It's seriously one of the best beers I've ever had. AND I MADE IT!
I made another batch this past weekend to see if I can replicate it or if the previous batch was a fluke. Needless to say, I'm hooked. Thanks to this website for being such a great resource!
If ever a dancing banana was in order this is the occasion!
Here's a pic
Cheers!
