You know, as a new guy I always wonder if anyone gives a rat's butt when I post my foaming brew glass.
But for we new guys, that looks friggin great! Excellent job! How's the flavors?

Very drinkable, light on the hops, to me very close to the taste of a Blue Moon without the citrus. It's Northern Brewer's American Wheat extract kit, 1 gallon size. After this was bottled (2 weeks ago), I have another wheat fermenting, a Palmer's premium beer kit called "Kent's Hollow Leg". Moved up to 2.5 gallon after the first batch.!

Looks good to me. I’d help you drink it if I were closer.

This is actually last mouthful of my first brew. American amber ale kit from brewer's best. I have about 10 days or so until my second beer is bottled and ready for drinking (luckily I have 3 gallons of mead to drink that I have made). It's nice to see how well others are doing and i hope it taste as good as it looks

Wasn't sure if my picture came through on the Mobil sorry if it's a double post
2 weeks and your up to more than double the batch size! give it a couple years and you'll be brewing 10-20 gal batches and have 3 refrigerators!

Sadly enough he is correct. I have been brewing about 3 years but I have managed to keep it down to 2 refrigerators. Lol.
you either bottle, or haven't made the plunge into lagers?

LMAO.....it's the 2nd. I haven't made it to lagers yet!
Been kegging for about 2 years. That's the 2nd fridge. Trying to figure out where I can get a fermenting/lagering fridge in the house without pissing off the wife. Lol.
For God's sake, Tom, it's only a 1-gallon batch! Sheesh.

Those 1-gal kits are AWESOME for getting people started in the homebrew community or if you have super limited space! I brewed once or twice a week in college on a kit that my then-girlfriend-now-wife gave me for christmas.
Learn a bunch and brew on!

The color looks great. That's either a very fast camera or I wonder what the FG was though. My beer always runs down the side of the glass when it's on its side. That stayed in the bottom like a hockey puck.
(End sarcasm)
Congrats to you both on getting the first batch in the glass and enjoying them.

Congratulations on your first brew. Wheat beers are really tasty and beautiful to look at.

Congratulations! The first brew is so very exciting, you made it, you know what ingredients are in it, and how it was done. Welcome to the slippery slope of home brewing. The beauty is you can keep it simple or go complex, whatever you prefer. Either way you get beer!
