Cool!

The first time I brewed I had to wait almost 24 hours before I could add the yeast, the sauce was still to hot, it has to be at around 20 degrees. Thats why I ordered a cooler:




I tested it yesterday, it cooled 20 liters from 95 degrees to 18 degrees in about 30 minutes. A huge improvement!

On Sunday I'll brew again and hope to make a tastier one this time... :)

I'll publish some pictures next week, stay tuned!

First taste!


It's actually not even that bad, after the first mouthful I got used to it... :)
And no bad side effects in the morning, no headache, no diarrhea - I feel good! :D

I've no idea where the smokey taste comes from. I had some trouble with the heating when I brewed it, may come from there. But that has been solved. 

I'll brew again pretty soon and still hope to make some improvements to the machine, like a filter system and a cooling system and so on.

So stay tuned, cheers!
