    1st fermentation time advice please

    its ok if you like a fruity plastic taste I guess lol but its not for me I wont even buy a pint at the bar in plastic glasses when they try to sell them at events. A nice glass of beer or bottle of beer will always be the only way for me :thumb:

    alcohol level in home brew??
