Hi All,
I am a first time brewer and just completed the Block Party Amber Ale kit that came with my Northern Brewers starter kit, this was a partial mash brew.
I fermented it for 2 weeks before bottle conditioning, it has been in this state for around 10 days now and I thought I would give it a shot and see how its getting on.
First thing I notice is that the beer is gasey, it looks flat after pouring but you can feel a strong fizz on your tongue and it fills you with gas pretty quickly.
The aroma is good but quickly fades and the beer doesnt have much taste to it either.
Is this part of the conditioning process or is it too late and my beer is a dud? I used everything the kit gave me except when it came to sanitizing for bottling bucket, bottles etc I had to use Milton (we used this for babies bottles and it was fine) as I had none left over from the previous time.
Worried I messed up my first batch.
