Hey all, this is my first post and I hope this is in the right section!
So far I have made 2 batches of beer. The first was from a kit which yielded 1 gallon, and it turned out terrible with way too much sediment and incredibly overcarbonated (but somehow none of them were bombs! ) The second batch turned out just amazing, couldn't have asked for a better brew based on the style I was going for. My success is in huge part due to the vast amount of information I found on these forums... so thank you for that.
Here is the brew I made- it is an English Brown Ale with ingredients I gathered from "My Old Kentucky Homebrew" in Louisville, KY (great store).
I did have a general question, that seems a little silly but I'm really curious about. I have noticed that most beers, especially my homebrew, taste *much* better directly out of the bottle than when poured into a glass. I cannot taste the beer nearly as well when poured into a glass- it almost tastes bland. I know a lot of people get upset when "good" beer is consumed directly from the bottle, but I just think it tastes so much better! I've noticed this with almost every beer, from Brown Ales to IPAs.
Has anyone else had this experience or is it just me?
Thanks for taking the time to read, and cheers!
