Mine ended up in the FV for 3 weeks before I got to 1004. Hops at that point had been in for 7 days. Its now only been 7 days since I batch primed it and I couldn't resist a taste. This is only my second brew and having been a bit disappointed with my first effort I was amazed by this even at...

Well this was my first ever attempt at making beer. I don't think I made any glaring errors but still sure I got bits wrong. It had 15days in FV and ended up pretty strong at 5.8, two weeks in the warm after bottle priming and now 5 weeks cold conditioning. Its now drinkable. Cant say Im...

Tried the first 2 bottles of mine after just a week in the bottles and alcoholic fruit juice about sums up the taste. Not nasty but also not what I had expected. Didn't have enough carbonation at that point either so left it another week in the warm and have now left it in the shed to cool...

Thanks for taking the time to write this. Great help with my first kit which just bottled. 2nd kit is already in the FV
