Home Brew Report: As of yesterday, the beer (which was bottled two weeks ago) was ready to be consumed. Apparently it’ll keep getting improving for the next couple of months, but of course we couldn’t wait to try it out. Here’s the Snook cracking open the first one, pouring it, and giving it a taste.
It was… okay. As the Snook put it, “It tastes like home brew.” It was pretty fizzy, but they were big bubbles like you get in a Coke. It wasn’t quite foamy enough. (He thinks to get that result, you have to use more grain and less sugar.) The taste was pretty yeasty and pronounced, and it hit the tongue almost like cider. It’s definitely drinkable, but it’s not going to win any awards or anything. Oh well, the next batch will be better!

Next batch will be better, but this batch will get better, too. Just wait a month or so and taste it again.
Congrats on your first effort! (This is a good reminder that I need to get brewing)
