Wasn't sure if I could drink it yet!



...but since I can...
Set up to siphon some off. I have a hydrometer (hygrometer???) specific gravity thingie, but it's for battery acid and the range is way, way to high to get a reading.

I'm surprised that the color in a glass is significantly different from what's in the bottle.



No unpleasant odors. No odor of vinegar. Just a rust color, I'm gonna put a glass in the fridge and see how it settles.


Now, the really good news:

It tastes GREAT!!!

Bit of sweetness left, but other than that, it really couldn't taste any better! Maybe will a lemon peel added or something, but the stuff is GOOD!! Really, really good! Like I need to be on my lips at ten AM!!

It's all yur fault!

Welcome to “the addiction”.

I have been refining and experimenting for 26 years now and got started just as you did.

Perhaps it is the Engineer in me, but with careful note taking, experimentation and adjustment, I now make exactly what I like.

Cheers to you my FRiend, and as I said before, be careful with that cider, it packs a wallop !

I just wanted to see how things are going and to let you know that you are not alone in your fermentation efforts.

I brewed 9 days ago and the results are looking good.



From left to right;

Calif Steam Beer - Not finished

Blonde Ale - Finished

English Ale - Finished

America Pale Ale - Finished

I will cold crash them tomorrow for 48 hours then keg and carbonate.

These are for New Years Eve and it ought to be a lot of fun !

Cheers,
