Thanks to the help of this forum my first brew seems to be going pretty well. Bottled it today and snuck a quick taste. Definitely tastes and smells like beer so that's a bonus
Original gravity was 1040 and final gravity before bottling was 1009 so if I've got the calculations correct that should give me a final alcohol percentage of just below 4.6%
Now to just let it sit in the bottles under the sink for a few more weeks before transferring to the fridge to sample
Will probably head to the homebrew supply store tomorrow to get my next batch going
