Started this last week, I have read in other threads that it goes off like a rocket usually, however I am finding that fermentation is a little slow, it is bubbling very slowly and a good head of foam appeared this seems to have dropped back. I have a temp of 22 degrees. This is after less than a week in the primary.
 
Not sure what you are asking.
Leave at least 2 weeks, then check gravity reading with hydrometer....
 
Cheers it just seems to be really slow going by what others have said. Probably panicking over nothing.
 
brewed this one as my first kit brew 3 years ago, it needs at least 8 weeks to be ready in my opinion, I bottled it and it took at least 8 weeks after fermentation had finished to be drinkable.
 
Hope you have better luck than I did with this one! It's the first kit in 20+ kits I've done that I had to throw out...
Fermented for 15 days came out at 7% batch primed with 100g sugar and bottled. After 3/4 weeks in the bottle they started to taste more and more alcoholic, I mean like taking a shot of whiskey but in a bad way. Broke my heart to throw them out but something went wrong somewhere
 
Bottled it yesterday...came out at around 7.2. had a wee taste...didn't seem too bad..will have to wait and see
