One for me so far.

I just transferred a brew for my brother in law to the secondary. It had good color and 1.024 gravity. it tasted fairly bitter. with that mellow out in the dry hopping or is it supposed to be more bitter?

About how long did the fermentation last in the primary, secondary, and bottles?

Ok, the gravity stabilized. It is in the bottle. After a taste it has citrus notes on the fRont end with a fairly dry finish. The hoppy taste is has mellowed out a lot. Interested to see what it's like after a few weeks in the bottle.

I took the gravity on it. As it stands now, it is at 1.013. I gave it a taste, it definitely has fruity notes and slightly hoppy on the end. Not too bad. It was a cloudy with trub floating in it. That might have been from taking it from the valve on the bottom. I think I will let it sit...

I used WLP001. The company estimates a finishes gravity of 1.054-1.059. I will check it tomorrow as day 8.

I am currently fermenting the american honey ale extract kit from more beer. The directions say to ferment for a week and let sit for a week, before bottling. What do people think about this, or should I bottle after just a week?

I am brand new to brewing, why change the biscuit to munich?
