Well, slurpped my first pint of home brew over the weekend - Great Eastern. Lovely head, not that clear in colour and darker/redder than the photo on the box. Quite some body, with lots of malt; not too watery. Pretty tasty but almost too bitter to be enjoyable. Is this normal for this kit? What have I done/not done to make it that way? And, anything I can do to counter it? It's all now in plastic litre bottles and I used golden granulated household sugar to prime. First FV for 2 weeks, then bottled from a primed second container.
Thanks!
Paul
