Hi guys first brew day here. Cheating a little bit as it a kit with everything in it. But here’s goes.

Think I messed up on the last step. Some of the sterilised water fell into the wort from the airlock :(

Hi Markie, and welcome to the most addictive hobby there is.
There's no such thing as cheating, be it a 2 can LME kit, all-grain kit or whatever.
Hopefully you enjoyed the process, will enjoy the beer, and more importantly, will want to brew more!
 
Just finished bottling up. I think I will be dry hopping in a bag next time. Think the last 2 bottle going to be very cloud!!
 
I have just been to pick up
Some more supplies to do another brew as soon as I can. The chap at the shop said best to leave in the bottle for a good 2 months. I was planning on leave for 2 weeks before drinking. Is 2 weeks enough?!
 
My pale ale AGs have been drinkable as soon as they carbonate, although they improve a bit over a month or so and become more clarifed and mature. 2 weeks will be fine for a pale if you cant wait but try keeping some back and opening at different stages to see the difference. Darker beers need longer to condition I believe.

thank you
 
Rule of thumb here is 2 weeks to carbonate & another 2 to condition.
I generally wait 1 month from bottling to drinking.
Obviously carbonating might take a bit longer in the shed in the winter than the summer
 
Didn’t turn out to bad taste pretty good.
