Honey Wheat Process

My first batch of beer has been done for a while now. It tastes wonderful. I don't know if thats because I brewed it, or because it is actually good. The taste is very strong because of my negligence is not filtering out the hops before the initial fermentation. It was a tasty mistake. Anyways, here is a photo summary of the process and the results.



The basics: Iodine based sanitizer, malt, and honey.

and of course, the wheat.
After seeping the wheat and mixing the malt and honey. Prior to adding the hops.
Smelled amazing.
Boiling for an hour.
Sanitizing the carboy
Primary fermentation.
The wonderful bottle that was sold to me by a crazy Filipino lady
And, the result.

Overall the process was very interesting and a solid learning performance. Biggest lesson learned: make sure during the first few days of initial fermentation to have a hose running down to a bucket or else you will end up with a wall covered in beer that has sprayed out of the top.

Overall, I give this beer roughly an 8.5/10.
