This weekend Julie and I decided to jump the gun and taste our beer.  It’s been ‘conditioning’ in the fridge for around two and half weeks.  The handbook we were following says three to four weeks but after consulting some other home brewers we were convinced it was at least worth a taste.

I’d have to say it’s pretty good.  It’s not too heavy but it’s definitely a real beer. The beer is much darker than I thought it would be.  By no means is it flat, so the bottling/capping was done properly.  There also is no real ‘funk’ taste, which was also a concern.  I’m going to spread as much of it around as I can so I can get some real opinions on the taste.  We’ll probably do another batch in the next week then maybe move on to another type.
