As I mentioned before, I had my second homebrewing experience not too long ago, and the first one to bear fruit ... or ... beer, as it were.
There was a good 8 days of fermentation, which was actually longer than necessary, and a semi-hectic evening of bottling. 10 days later -- Friday the 24th -- I opened the first bottle.
It was about as the earlier taste-tests I'd made, though with a bit less ... noise in it. It's not stellar, but it easily better than many commercial beers I've had.
Mmmmm. Beer.
