We finally got to taste our first batch of home brew! We had family over and expanded the tasting with more family using Google Hangouts. Lots of fun was had by all. El Jefe had one fatal flaw: no carbination. Overall the beer tasted good, but it was a little sweeter than it should have been. It seems the yeast didn't process the priming sugar to produce CO2, leading to a slightly sweet, flat beer. So, we have some debugging to do. Thankfully we haven't bottled any other brews, so we have a chance to get it right with the Tumbler clone. There's a possibility that the yeast just stalled out and some more time conditioning in the bottle will produce better results. Hopefully if we do El Jefe again, it will come out perfectly.
