I don't remember the yeast, it was the packet that was included with the kit. As for the F.G. it was 1.010. Im letting them condition some more.....about to pitch the yeast on a nice blonde ale!

Mine has some grains, and some Liquid Malt Extract, AND some Dried Malt Extract. It is the scottish ale kit by brewers best that you can read about here at their site.

Cool. Thanks frazier. What made yours disappointing at first? Lack of mouth feel and body, or something else?

OK I just read This Thread and I think maybe my question was answered. Just let it condition longer than 3 weeks?

I followed the instructions in the brewers best kit, however I took some advice found here and left it in the primary fermenter longer, and I am bottle conditioning for 3 weeks. That being said, anticipation took hold of me, and I decided to sample a bottle after 2.5 weeks. Seems to have...

good advice from everyone...thanks. on the clarity issue, i might wait that long on the next brew....but not my first! too excited.

Hello everyone. I'm brand new to brewing, and to this group, but I have some scottish ale in the fermenter in the closet. It is my first brew, and the fermentation seemed very vigorous and rapid. It started after about 5 hours, and all through the night and the next day bubbles were rolling...

I have been lurking on the site for a while, thinking about getting a beer brewing kit, and luckily, my wife decided to get me one for my birthday.... AND she gave it to me early so that I would (hopefully) have beer to drink by then! :D What a great gal! :rockin: Anyway....Here I...
