Topic: Malt Extract
We had our first glass of homemade beer today. It took 3 1/2 weeks from start to the first glass to drink. It was good, it tasted like beer. I think it had more alcohol in it than regular beer, as I expected, because I had kept on adding more sugar. Although it didn't *taste* any more alcoholic than any other beer (was quite mild, in fact) but I could feel the alcohol in it after just one 5-ounce glass. It was murky, with all the brewers yeast being mixed up with it, and it didn't hold its head after being poured, but other than that, it did what beer is supposed to do. I started the next bottle by pouring in some fermenting beer I had previously bottled into the plastic bottle with screw-on lid and adding 1 teaspoon of sugar.
