Hi guys. First post and a 1st attempt at AG following the instructions on page 1 of the "Have a go at simple AG" thread using Amarillo hops.
After the boil I ended up with 4 litres of wort with an OG of 1.064. I placed the wort in a 5ltr demijohn and made up to approx 4.7ltrs with cold water. I didn't want to fill the demijohn due to being uncertain how much room to leave for the krausen.
Used Safle 05 yeast, pitched at 25C (was getting a little impatient (excited!)
Took 5 days to ferment out and I bottled on the 6th day at a FG of 1.022 / 1.024.
Had a taste test (of course) and wow, not too hoppy, very smooth. Really looking forward to a pint once it has conditioned.
How long have folk left these to condition? I am guessing due to the taste test that kits take longer??
