Notes on our first Homebrew

Our first attempt at home-brewing was a batch of pale ale. On drinking day, we noticed that we have failed at creating a tasty beer. A bad aftertaste with a weak pale ale taste. It resembled more of a Heffienwisen than pale ale.

One week later, for reason of what we would like to call persistence but most would call being poor, we continued having a beer a day until we actually found that it tasted much better. Looking up why this would be, we have several hypothesis but no real answers. Here's what we think most likely:

due to summer heat, and higher temperatures, the yeast took longer to fully realize and needed more time to mature in the bottle.
