Congrats! Nothing like making good beer yourself. 8 days in the bottle is still very young. I'm sure if you can hang onto it you will have even better beer within the next month or two!
Congrats.......
Now you are hooked. I would suggest brewing again ASAP so you can get a good pipeline going. Waiting for brews to mature is much easier with a good pipeline.
i have a holiday ale 3 weeks in,and plan on making an imperial blonde ale this saturday:rockin:
