This is my first post. I'm really excited about getting into homebrewing. My wife bought me the Brewer's Best American Pale Ale beer kit with all the goodies (the deluxe kit). I have done a little reading tonight on here and I am getting a little confused. I obviously want my first batch to be successful.
How to the "T" should I follow the directions? They say after 4-6 days or when bubbles have stopped for 48hrs in the airlock that it is ok to go ahead and bottle. It says up to 2 weeks once bottled. That doesnt sound like it jives with what I've been reading. Should I let it sit in the primary for 2-3 weeks and then siphon over to a bottling bucket for bottling? Then let the bottles sit for a couple weeks for carbonation? It sounds like I can get good quality beer by letting it sit for 2-3 weeks in primary. True?
Thanks a lot in advance for the help. I'm planning on starting tomorrow.
