Well gents, my wife and I are both military officers. I was never a beer person, more of a whiskey guy; straight whiskey... She turned me on to craft beers. Well this past Christmas she purchased me a home-brew kit. Well, we brewed our first beer, then three weeks later we bottled and a week later they sent her off for training; like they always do us. So as she was packing we slipped a bottle into her carryon so that it can bottle condition. We chose to drink it via FaceTime for Valentines Day. Just wanted to share the pics and story with you all.... It came out amazing! It was a Shock Top clone...
The beer looks great for clarity and head retention, and you're both smiling, so it was a good beer? Bummer that you were separated.
Congrats on the success of your first brew! I will be opening a bottle of my first brew in the next week and I hope it's also a success. Thanks for your service! Cheers.
