My first batch was bottle to glass in 3 weeks, or 2 if you count the "test brew" I popped at one week. Brewer's Best american amber.
I now have an Irish Red that will end up a month in the fermenter (transferred to secondary on Sunday to free up the larger bucket for my next batch). By the time my dad pops a bottle on his birthday, it'll be around 6-7 weeks old. I'm thinking it'll be pretty damn tasty (it already is going from primary to secondary).
I just brewed my first weizen as well, and know that it's a "younger" ale. I hope to have that drinking for myself by mid-August.
Do yourself a favor, splurge and buy a 12 pack of your favorite craft beer, and drink one every day or every other day, pretending like it's your own beer. Pay attention to hops, malt, and all the flavors in your craft beer, because homebrew will have all those flavors so much stronger that it will blow you away.
I have no clue what the apfelwein is doing. I'll check it when I get back from this business trip.
