So I brewed up my first beer - a Munton's extract kit, the IPA. Followed the instructions, modified by what I read on HBT forums. OG was 1.052, exactly what the kit specifies. Racked over to secondary at 10 days, 1.021. Now, twelve days after that, SG is still 1.021 and the taste I stole from the Thief was watery, with no body and little hop flavor (and not as sweet as I'd expect from that gravity).
I'm not sure if I even want to waste time bottling it... I may just dump it since I have ingredients for EdWort's Haus Pale (mini-mash version) on the way...
I'm trying to RDWHAHB. I really am. Do you think there's any hope for this kit that I made? Will the body appear in this beer a few weeks down the road?
