So far and it's only 7 days now mine tastes pretty nice and its a long way from finished

Appreciate the advice people will keep tasting and keep checking gravity. I'm loving my new hobby can't wait to have a steady stream of my own beer. Thanks again

The instructions say 10 days at 20 to 27. Should I ignore that time scale do u think or bottle at 10 and leave for 3-4 weeks in bottle

That's the kit I used

Just looking for an opinion nothing specific really just wanna see what people think. I bought a 10€ 42 litre beer mix. I used 1.2 kg honey instead of dextrose along with maybe 150g light brown sugar. In vat 6 days so far and is quite boozy any thoughts on what I've done so far of was 1045

That's great to hear. Was very disappointed but kinda guessed as the bottle weren't very hard. Patience so thanks again

Hi mycoe just got same kit. And I'm a first timer too. I have that on the bottom of my wort too. I've tasted mine after only 48 hrs and I must say I'm impressed with what I'm tasting. I've taken a gravity reading and its currently 1027, having started at 1045. Prob ill leave it a couple more...
