Love how it calls me a 'New Member', been on here for 8 years +, just haven't posted much!

Open the bottle 20 minutes before you pour and drink it. You'll notice the difference.

ITC 308.

I'm in, thank you.

I did mine pretty much as per the instructions, 5 days, added the hops, then left it for another 9 days, which gave me a nice healthy 6.2% abv. I bottled it on the 18/11/13, and it's gradually getting better, definitely one for the long haul. I do love these Festival kit's though, always make a...
