OK - Now We Have Been Drinking It For A While

So it is 7.45 pm and we have gone through 3/4 of the beer. We have decided that our first experience RULES! Everyone is drinking it and and seems to like it. We will still need to follow up on the carbonation, but right now we don't care much! We have noticed that there is considerably less "belching" - we may be on to something. The "Belchless" brew may continue...

Oh yeah - the hygrometer says our beer is 2% alcohol. We have decided it is MUCH MORE! We have also decided to bottle at a lower temperature to enhance the carbonation. But all in all I would say it is a GREAT experience and we are inspired to keep on. But our plans to brew another batch tonight faded with our first beer.
