I have bottled my first two NOT test batches and both turned out very drinkable.
Quite proud now![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I did brew two new batches but due to my HB-Store being out of the yeast I usually use and the Saarz Hops, I went very "wild" and used hallertauermittelfrüh and mandarina Bavaria Hops as well as a completly different yeast (Wyeast 3942).
My original recipe called for 1 oz of Saarz so I used 0.5 Hallertauer and 0.5 mandarina.
The wort tasted very bitter but not unpleasant to me, so I am very excited to see what I will end up with.
I have finally mastered the process of mashing. I hit my temps and keep them steady so that is a good thing. What I can't figure out yet, why I end up never hitting the volume of fermentable wort that is to go into fermentation. And I am very precise with my meassurements.
here is a picture from my test drinking![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
