The clean version of..Do you really love your beer?

What happened?

Not really sure. It's got a sourish taste to it. I've experienced it with another of my batches that was not well. I'm going to let it sit on the tap for a couple weeks since there isn't anything else to tap but outlook is not good. I fear it was the yeast personally. Think it was 2 months in the fridge (saved) but it kicked off in the starter fine, smelled fine.

But, I'm getting right back on the horse this weekend. Wifey is heading out there tomorrow and coming back Tue. going to brew Sat & Sun. Might just go right back to the pub ale again. Really sucks though

Alot of my earlier brews got that same sourish thing. Kinda sucked, but I was proud of them anyway. I think it had to do, in my case, with the hot summer temps.

Yeah, definitely have a love affair with my brews. I'm always so very sad to see the last one go. I might have to make an exception for a few...the sour oatmeal stout, the pine-tree-all-up-in-your-face Porter...but for the most part, I love 'em. And the ones that are my favorites...damn, it's SO hard to see the last one go. Like a f'ing funeral procession when I open it.

I'd have to say that for the most part I really love my beers. Now that I've started to get the hang of recipe formulation they have been consistantly better and better each time. The experimental stuff can be hit or miss, but that's kind of the reason behind experimenting, and I always learn something from it anyways.

Yes I love my beer!! I admit it I have a beer/brewing addiction. In the past year since I went all grain and 140 gallons later my beer has really improved, so much so that a friend of mine that is the head brewer at a local craft brewery even commented on how much better it was.
Now like Dude it's time to come up with a few standard recipes and some seasonal's.
