James, I bottled the batch from earlier in the summer about 10 days ago.
The anticipation...and a crisp 'pop' sound
The pour. Not bad so far. I did not refrigerate it beforehand.
The warm glow
The drink. Not bad at all. Minimal homebrewy smell/taste, smooth, tasty, buzz inducing, and considering it's only been 10 days I consider it a smashing success!
