Using Mr Brew's home brewing kit to make my first home brew.
Three weeks as of this date. Just finished natural carbonation stage (sugar). 7 day lead to very hard 1 plastic bottles.
*On to coditioning. Just placed half my bottles in the refrig (36 degrees) for cold conditioning, left three out to warm condition, and opened one for taste.
Taste(3 week brew, post carbonation): vinegary, almost apple cider like. Carbonation: very mild almost flat. Color: light, golden and abit cloudy (normal as home brews have a higher protien). Head- persists for two minutes. It's like a domestic beer.
Using the pale ale at this stage as a baseline, I hope hoppiness (or reduction of cidar taste reduces unvailing hoppiness) and carbonation increases with conditioning.
No changes from game plan a this point
*pepsi change: comparisons by which i refine future brews.
