How long has it been bottled?

Keeping the bottle in the fridge for a couple days could help.

Tap-a-draft is interesting...I just started looking at getting a box of liter swing-tops. I'd like to get another storing option, so I can have two beers ready at once. I'll probably go with bigger bottles or a growler. I could even go get a half gallon jug from a brewpub, that would be cheaper and ...

1. Sounds like you just dumped all the grains in the water to steep. Is this correct? In the future you can put the grains in a mesh bag. Or if it was because of the hops, you can buy pellet hops which will dissolve completely. 2. When you are ready for the hydrometer reading get a plastic thief, sa...

I'd recommend just using a smack pack.

Well, I finally made a beer run. I got a IPA, cream ale, amber ale, english pale ale, irish ale, and a wheat. Now comes the fun part...testing.

Sounds like it should come out tasting like a Corona, which so far it does. So, if it is good to you then it is a success.

I've been drinking one a day, since Friday. Today's beer is the best yet. In 3 more days it will be 3 weeks since I bottled. It has been interesting watching the clarity change and tasting the flavors come together. At first I wasn't sure how much I would homebrew, but now I'm already thinking about...

A honey wheat would be good too. Great suggestions. This could require a beer run. :D

Summertime Brews

After finishing my first batch, a brown ale, I'm starting to think what to brew next. Since summer is coming up, I was looking for some suggestions for a good brew. Right now I'm thinking about going with a cream ale.

Wait at least 2 weeks. Last week I opened one of my brown ales that had only been bottled for a week. There was very little carbonation, not enough to form a head. Tonight I opened another, two weeks bottled, and it has a pretty good head. It also tastes a lot better. It still tastes too young, but ...

Mine is also based off a northern english. I might have to open one sometime this weekend, just to see how it evolves over the coming weeks.
