My friends and I made two batches of our first beer. We had a great time, and we are ready to do it again. How long should we wait to bottle it?
 
if you can, take gravity readings after a week or 10 days, then take again in a day or two and see if the reading stays the same. If it does, I'd leave it for another week, then bottle.

If you can't/don't want to take gravity readings, I'd go 3 weeks, then bottle.
 
Btw the autumn amber kit is great beer. I made this as my first one and liked it so much we brewed another one.

It's a solid medium darkness not to bitter or hoppy with a smooth finish.

Just a good beer to have on hand for the average drinker.

Ok, thanks a lot!

Did you just bottle it after it primary fermentation? Thanks!
 
Relax and enjoy the experience.

I watched several videos on YouTube that were very helpfull. Be sure to get a spray bottle that makes a mist like a Windex bottle. Fill it full of water after cleaning it out and use it and the heat control to keep the hot break from boiling over. Remember to sanitize every thing that will touch your wort after the boiling is done.

Thanks! It was a great experience, and I can't wait to do it again.
 
We bottled our first batch tonight! My friend wanted to try it right out of the fermenter. I want to thank everyone for their advice!
