So far, so good? (Beer edition)

Well... I tried one of my homebrewed beers last week. The results were... less than encouraging? I started to panic a bit, which is why I haven't posted anything about it until now. The beer was sweet but sour, and upset my stomach some. But I read up on it, and that "green apple" flavor is not unexpected or uncommon, especially if the beer hasn't had time to fully "condition" in the bottle. Usually 3-4 weeks, and it has only been 12 days now.

Now, I decided to try another beer. The verdict? Not too shabby. It isn't nearly as sweet, and the sour is starting to turn more normal bitter. It is nice and carbonated, so that part worked out pretty much perfectly. And it should only get better if I can continue to be patient. The home brew websites all say the same thing: the last beer is always the best beer. So I've still got 46 beers left, and I'm going to try one beer every 3-4 days for the next two weeks or so and see how the flavor changes over time.

In the meantime, this gives me the confidence to start the next batch... which is a hell of a lot more complex, but I think I can do it! But, it is a whole crapload of stuff....
