UPDATE: Brewing Experiment

The first batch of beer has been completed. Turned out okay, but not what it was supposed to be. I may have added a bit too much sugar during the bottling process. What is supposed to take like an American lager, turned out more like a hard cider. Still tastes pretty good though, definitely drinkable. It also turned out very carbonated, it's hard to pour a glass of it without at least a 2-3 inch head at the top. I am taking this as evidence that there was too much sugar added during the bottling process as well, since that whole purpose of the sugar at that stage is to carbonate the beer. The next brew I try will be something a little bit darker, more updates to follow. On a non-related note, work still sucks.
