Complete

It's finally complete, bottle cap popped with a decent escape of gas , lots of bubbles, also poured very clear,. Tastes not bad for my first attempt. I wouldn't pay big money for it, but it does taste like a standard amber ale. Got a slight buzz after a few minutes, so there's alcohol in it, will use the hydrometer on the next bottle to try and calculate the alcohol content.

Also left pretty decent lacing another good sign. Overall I'm happy, my first attempt is not a failure. I got some things wrong in the initial brewing, fortunately I got away with them and have 5 Gallons of not bad beer.

This was essentially from a kit (with a swap of hops), next time will try a recipe using half extract, half specialty grains. Don't yet have access to big enough brew kettle to do a full mash, but it will happen,
