Hello everyone, I just joined the other night after I was in dire need of assistance due to me messing up pretty bad on my first batch by fermenting at a stable 78F-80F while trying to do a Kolsch (oops)! Due to the good nature of this wonderful community I may have saved this batch, it won't be a kolsch which I came to realize is a harder beer to brew especially for a first batch so it most likely won't taste like a kolsch, but you learn from your mistakes right? With that being said, the community guided me into a direction of better fermentation control so now i'm in the process of building my first fermentation chamber especially after scoring on a mini fridge for $20!
So more about myself, my name is Matt (23) born and raised here in SoCal, the high desert more specifically and just recently got into homebrewing after one night at a brewery I normally visit and ended up seeing a advertisement for a local homebrew shop which sparked my interest, so I asked the bartender who happens to be the brewer some questions. He ended up making more then interested in brewing and found myself at the shop the very next day, spent about 2hours asking every question I could possibly think of and settled for a kit for around $180 to get me started. So now here I am, week 1 into my first batch and already found a great community to be a part of!
