Oh...well that is surprisingly drinkable. Decided to give all my bottles a last burp and popped them in the fridge.

Did some little sampling now, not entirely cold yet but definitely chilled and even the missus likes it! Both batches are nice and bubbly.

Pineapple is a bit dry but with an alcohol level comparable to Faxe 10% beer, definitely getting the same feels as that. Should have bottled on Thursday probably but didn't get time. Wife describes it as a mild ginger beer with one hell of a kick. Makes sense as I added in 3 tsp of ginger in the original batch.

Pear, peach and ginger is nice and light while still being slightly sweet.

Problem with getting waisted on beer is the frequent trips to the loo. Pulls out 10 year old Whisky rather

You're going to really enjoy it. Its pretty cool taking water, grain, hops and yeast and turning it into beer you can share with friends.

That recipe you chose has got a lot of things going on so make sure you create a check list and set everything up nicely beforehand. It would be better to do a few simple ones to get used to your equipment and the process first.

Started my own Coopers lager batch tonight.

Any tips on where I can get bottles to use once I get to that stage? I have a case of empty quarts but that won't be nearly enough.

The brew shops I checked are either out of stock or not selling during stage 4.
