The latter I still drank, got drunk, but wouldn't chalk it up as my greatest success in terms of taste.<br /><br />In short, as long as you keep things clean and take your time (impatience will create a disappointing beer quicker than anything), you should always end up with something drinkable. It might not be what you intended to make, but drinkable it will be. Some of my favourite brews are ones that happened by accident!<br /><br />Get to it!The Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345021580985320660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261469526704755576.post-87791032858307427082013-02-19T13:47:03.745-08:002013-02-19T13:47:03.745-08:00Good luck on your beautiful beer blogging journey ...Good luck on your beautiful beer blogging journey :-)) Marverine Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533291457462003806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261469526704755576.post-1546496708734529452013-02-18T13:26:35.220-08:002013-02-18T13:26:35.220-08:00Add another reader to the list.
