The eighth beer that I brewed.

Tried to make another English IPA, to see if I could make it better than the first one was.

First time using liquid yeast for the primary fermentation.

The seventh beer that I brewed.

This time, I tried to brew a style that I hadn’t drink before: Trappist Single.

What caught my attention about this style was the simplicity of its recipe.

The sixth beer that I brewed.

This was the first sour beer that I made. I brewed it with Fernando Sehn’s assistance, one of the most experienced homebrewers of sour and wild styles that I know.

First beer that I carbonated with CO2.

The fifth beer that I brewed.

This beer was so defective that there was no workaround for it, and I had to throw away the whole batch.

The fact that it was a Blonde Ale also helped, as it is a style that is quite “straight to the point”, where all the off-flavors are quite noticeable.

The fourth beer that I brewed.

This time, I tried brewing an American Pale Ale but, for the sake of isolating a hop, I used a single hop on this recipe: Citra.

Also, I used CervaSerra’s 30L equipment and CervaSerra’s cold room once again.

The third beer that I brewed.

This beer was brewed with a different setup, as I used CervaSerra’s 30L equipment.

I also used CervaSerra’s cold room and, from this time on, my beers have been fermented in a controlled temperature.

Second beer that I brewed.

Used the same equipment and setup that I used on the first beer that I brewed, which eventually made the second beer to have the same problems that the first one did.

Sensorially, despite the 53.7 IBUs, it lacked bitterness.

The first beer that I brewed.

Brewing is something that I wanted to do for quite some time, and by the time that I brewed this beer, I had already took a “How to Brew” course, so I wasn’t going completely blind to my first brew day.

Despite that, mistakes were made, some due to my inexperience and others due to the inexistence of some equipment.

Yeah, it’s been awhile since my last post here. In my mind, trying to deliver a constant stream of information would be easier. But, with all the things that …
