Brewing

The first bottle!
I opened the first bottle from my first batch last night. It had carbonated okay. The smell was absolutely great -- good hopping. The taste was a bit malty -- perhaps slightly sweeter than I would like, but good nonetheless. There was a slight aftertaste -- perhaps from squeezing the grain bag in the beginning as a couple of folks indicated in comments they made here in the blog. All-in-all, I am pretty satisfied with it as my first batch.
