Fermented bathwater

[Glug]

No I haven't made this, but its probaly a good description of my brews made prior to discovering all the great info on brewing forums.

Have started drinking a Woodfords Wherry made without all the previous mistakes such as:-

Not filtering the tap water.
Taking a bit more care with the Wort.
Not thinking it would help the fermentation to give it a good stir after day 3.
Not leaving it to ferment a bit longer than needed.
Especially not droping the beer into the bottles to give it a bit of froth so I can tell when the bottle is nearly full.
Using the correct type of sugar for conditioning.
Waiting a bit (only a little bit) longer before trying the stuff.
And many other useful little tips.

Result - Wow I only hope I don't drink it all to fast, well that is untill my next one is ready to drink (Bottling this weekend an IPA). So many thanks to you all.

Even more reason to enjoy

Well done! Isn't it a great feeling when it all comes together and you have a great tasting brew as a reward for your efforts!

Hope this encourages you to continue to enjoy brewing beers that you enjoy and that are the envy of your friends, it's nice to offer someone a good beer and saying to them, " I made this myself", although you may be in danger of becoming extremely popular if you keep it up, I know that invitations to my tasting sessions/social evenings etc are very much sought after!
