So I just took my first hydro sample of my first brew after having it in the fermenter for 10 days.
Now this may sound stupid but I am crazy excited (hence the thread title!) as to how much it tastes like beer!
Seriously, I just didn't expect it to taste that good! I made several mistakes, like pitching the yeast to hot, pouring the wort into the fermenter too hot and generally poor temperature control, so I pretty much expected 23l of vinegar, but it's definitely beer!
Let's put things in perspective, its a fair way from perfect, but I'm pretty pleased for my first attempt...
It does have a slight tang on the finish, is that something that will get cleaned up during conditioning? Or is that just the taste of semi-carbonated, warm beer? Or the result of my imperfect brewing technique?
Cheers, (a very excited) Matt
