It feels good to be a homebrewer.
My first beer was a BB Oktoberfest I brewed as a steam. That beer has been in the bottle for 2 weeks and overall tastes good, but has some suttle off flavors. I think it is still green. My second beer is a BB witbier that I added some sweetened orange peal and cranberry extract. That beer I bottled last Sunday and it tastes great! I wasn't going to open one until next week, but I read today that wits are better new beers. The cranberry is suttle, but the flavor is pretty good. Tastes sort of like a milder Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic with out the sourness.
Yesterday I put my third beer in the primary, a Dark Cherry Chocolate Stout. I added 22 oz of honey and some more hops + bakers chocolate to the northern brewer dark cherry stout. I hope to have that one ready sometime in February.
Next up an American Cream Ale and Caribou Slobber, both NB kits. My wife is asking for a clone of Chimay red label.
cheers!
