OK - Now I can say I have a blog
Today is Friday and I am stoked about creating my first AG beer tomorrow.
I like to hang out at the homebrew.com forum as that is where I have gathered most of my knowledge and confidence in taking this huge step.
Up till now, I have created the following beers:
Australian Golden Ale (Coopers) - First and only canned extract
American Pale Ale - This is when I started my partial mashing
Hefeweizen - I learned how yeast can produce polyphenols that imparts a banana clove flavor
Fruit Ale (Strawberry) - My wife really loves. Could have a better head. Easy to drink
Oatmeal Stout - Had to try a dark one. I really like the Young's Oatmeal Stout in the can.
Red Zeppelin - My favorite beer I've made - Smoooooooth.
Fat Tire Clone - Taking forever carbonate, but then Fat Tire isn't very carb'd anyway.
Cream Ale - So far this is turning out to be pretty good and is only the second beer my wife will drink.
IPA - Had to make a hoppy beer - My first full boil
I have all the equipment ready and have decided on another fruit ale, seeing that my wife is almost out of Fruit Ale.
