I have just put mine on but i used brewing sugar instead of the enhancer. When u say leave it for an extra 7 days prior to bottling should this be done in a bottling bucket instead of just being left in the FV? Mine has started at 1042. It Smells alot better than the youngs lager kit i did first

First kit i did was a youngs lager and that didnt clear until it had been in the bottles for 2 weeks so i wouldnt worry to much.

Ive just ordered this kit so will start it off on tuesday, going to do it will 1kg glucose and not an enhancer. I just hope i dont get a flat batch at the end of it like some ppl have had.

Im going to order either the coopers european or the cervaza one. Havent made my mind up yet but have got 1kg of glucose in so might use that or get some enhancer
