So despite all my concerns that I had done something to screw up my brew, I bottled my first brew about 10 days ago. Just out of curiousness and my unwillingless to wait for the whole 3 weeks to let it condition I threw one bottle in the fridge and let cool for a couple of days. Popped it open last night and it was great. I can only imagine how good it will be in another couple of weeks of conditioning. I want to thank all of you for calming my fears and your suggestions. I think this is the start of a great hobby for me.
