Well this weekend I opened up my first batch, a red ale similar to Smithwicks. My early morning sample glass did not seem to taste right, I thought it was a little flat. But when I opened the bottles a little later with some friends, everything tasted great. A success!! I think I just wasn't in the proper state of mind when I took the first sample.
So good, it looks like I'll be able to keep going. This next weekend, my fermentation on Batch #2 should be complete so I'll decide then if I'll ferment a second time or put it straight to bottles. Maybe I'll experiment and try both with this batch to see if it really makes a difference.
