Fruit beers can be tricky. I like them as long as the fruit is squarely in the background and doesn't overpower the beer.

And this one was in the background complimenting the wheat beer, and afterthought so to speak.

Just started brewing my own beer. I'm pretty excited. Started simple because, well... I'm sure I'll screw it up.

I'm brewing a Washington apple ale, and adding a little bit of finishing hops to give it a little kick.

Went here to get all the ingredients. Maryland HomeBrew warehouse and online store for home brew and wine making, brew your own supplies. Kegging, corks, recipes, ingredient kits.

They were ridiculously helpful, so if anyone was thinking about doing it, try here. I literally just brought my recipe and they weighed everything I needed out for me.

I have been brewing for a little while now and absolutely love it. You will find with practice and patience you can brew beer at better quality than anything you can get in a store. I also use Maryland homebrew, they are really nice and helpful. Good luck with your new hobby it can get quite addictive.
