A homebrew is like a fart, only the brewer thinks it's great.

Hi,
No haven't tasted yet - I'm going to let it sit for another week or two... no rush!
Furthering to my partner helping me with the bottle, she is very happy with the cider I made (she tasted what I pulled out to take a measurement) and loved it! Now she wants me to make Ginger Beer too....
...and you haven't heard the best of it!...
I came home today, and there was a present for me. She'd gone to the HBS and bought me a beer kit: Morgans Golden Saaz Pilsener!
I feel like the luckiest man alive!!! She even asked me if I had all that I needed!!!!

Try 'pussy whipped'.SpillsMostOfIt wrote:I am having difficulty with the phrase 'dutch ovened' but am concerned it might mean something other than giving her a dutch oven.
Do I want to know?![]()

amber ale update
Hi everyone.
Well, its been two weeks and one day - and I couldn't resist it, I cracked open one of these...
The colour is darker than expected - almost looks like Beamish Red or Kilkenny, but with that definite amber-ness, not redness...
Smells sweet - I thought I caught a whiff of honey and got excited; then I remembered I didn't put any honey in it.....
The head was ginormous, and light, frothy, creamy.
Nice taste - although I can still taste/feel that bottle of Chimay Blue I downed half-hour ago (sheesh, now that's a BIG beer...
).
And I'm actually drinking this at room temp (I couldn't be bothered refrigerating)....
Its actually quite light tasting - a lot lighter than my last one (a dark ale). There is onyl the most subtle taste of bitterness, and I am still getting a honey-sweet after-taste - could that be from the crystal malt, perhaps?
I am quite impressed with this, seeing as I was doing something relatively complicated (and only my 2nd brew.... first without the presence of my Master Mentor to guide me....
)
I think this and the Chimay are going to make it very hard for me to get up tomorrow morning..... good thing I have a day off!

I've been trying to keep this batch for our upcoming wedding, but supplies are dwindling.
Its quite popular amongst mates, as it goes down reeeeaaaall smooth.
I'm hoping I can replicate this one. Next time, I boil the hops with the malt. Maybe add a tad less of the grains, maybe steep for a little less, and try and get a shade lighter.... I think overall, I'd try and make my operations a little smoother and shorter, as it did feel like I was at this for hours....
If you can get the Brewcraft JSAA converter kit, I recommend it!!! Nothing like a smooooth brew.
