Has anyone done this kit yet? Mine has been conditioning for 2 weeks now and I have sampled it from time to time. Just looking for some other reviews to size it up against.

What do you think pal? I might give it a bash before Christmas
I've got mixed feelings. It's good but not great, lacking some body. Not sure if this being a new kit has any bearing but it finished primary in less than a week. I gave it few more days to clean up then added the generous (100g) dry hop for 4 days. I got the best yield yet at 22L bottled. Carbed up nicely with the priming sugar supplied. It's been conditioning in the garage for about 2 weeks now (bottled 23rd Sept) and has settled out well to a slightly hazy amber. I forgot to take the OG but the FG was 1.008 and does feel like it's hit the advertised 5.5%. I know IPAs are best fresh, before the hops fade but maybe this one just needs to sit for a bit longer. I'll let you know in another couple of weeks.
