Its been 3 1/2 weeks now since I started my first craft brew that Christina gave me for our one year this past thanksgiving. The kit comes from Craft A Brew and includes everything you need and a easy step by step manual that I also wrote notes on. The only thing it doesn't come with is a big pot and bottles.
So after I got all the other stuff I needed to make my beer and reading up on how to make them and viewing countless videos of weirdo dudes teaching you about the whole process... It was time to party. I had the O.G kit by Craft a brew but I added some brown sugar at the end so it had a higher alcohol content and also some honey at the very very very end. This is what the beer looked like when it was done cookin.
The day after I made the beer I had to cat sit for a friend of Christina and the air lock over flowed with foam and shit so I had to stick the tube in and let the carboy bubble out.
I had to wait two weeks for the beer to ferment in the carboy and the day the two weeks hit I was being manipulated by my lady ;) Anyways the day after I took the carboy out and thought it looked a little like what I was going for. dark orange with a little red tint.
I bottled it and its been conditioning for almost two weeks.
Ill update with how it looks in the glass soon.
