Too Soon?
It’s hard to wait for
That first taste of home brew… but…
I should’ve waited
Written by Captain Hops.
References: A few weeks ago, I brewed my first batch of home brew in 14 years. I made the extract plus steeping grains version of the Big Basin Amber Ale recipe in the “How to Brew” book by John Palmer. I fermented for 13 days and then bottled. I read that bottle conditioning achieves the proper level of carbonation in about a week, but it is recommended that you let bottles sit for about 4 weeks to “mellow” out the flavors. Naturally, I opened the first bottle after one week. The carbonation and head were good. The aroma and color were nice. The taste started out as everything I wanted in an amber ale. However, the after taste was rather bitter and not really in a hoppy way. It wasn’t bad, it was just extra bitter at the end of the gulp. Is this the flavor that will mellow in the next few weeks in the bottle or is this a permanent part of this batch? I will let you know how it evolves over the next couple weeks.

Sake Bombs
The sushi chefs’ howls
As they pop their sake bombs
Startles the lunch crowd

References: A Sake Bomb is a when you drop a full sake glass into a glass of beer and then chug the whole thing. Apparently it is very important to scream some sort of exclamation while dropping the sake.
