It's not too much yeast in the bottle. You may well have bottled too soon. Do you know what the gravity was at bottling time?

Finally got round to looking back at my brewing notes! 1.01, which seems to be about right from what I understand.

Hydrometer readings are usually quoted in 4 figures? 1.010 to 1.019 is quite a difference - do your notes give the fourth figure?

1.01 to me is 1.010. :) I just missed off the zero on the end as it's implied. I guess I'm too used to doing that in my engineering job. Sorry about that!
 
I think bad beer with AG is harder to take because of the time and effort it takes, if it'd been a kit it'd be "oh well" and start again.

Must be because I'm a Yorkshireman that I see this differently. Because an AG is one third the cost of a kit, I can bin 2 AGs out of 3 with no financial loss. :grin:
 
After six weeks or so these beers are blinking lovely, very clear with a nice crispness and no horrible bitter taste at all. I am so impressed with them that I can't see me ever doing a kit unless it was for time saving. I am now on my 2nd 25kg of Maris Otter plus other grains and hops and brewing like crazy for Christmas 😃
