Mines been in the keg 3 or 4 weeks now and it's tasting marvelous. No complaints at all. I pass through Darlington often, will have to have a look in at Hop & Grape next time.
Just hit the 2 week mark on this. Fermentation stopped a couple days ago and SG is 1.010. Cold crashed it for 24 hours in the fridge but it still looks essentially like mud. Did this ever clear up for anyone? Not tasted any yet as I cracked my wine thief but I'll probably give it another day or two and stick it in the corny keg. :)

Yep, another one here Toredan! (and both of us in Worcester too!). I bottled this last SAturday, after 2.5 weeks in the FV. It was really, really cloudy going in to the swing top bottles.
The instructions were very clear to bottle from primary, rather than moving to a secondary FV (as is often my practice).
AFter 5 days in the bottle it is beginning to clear....here's hoping.

Another from Worcester, eh? Excellent! You been down to Homebrew Dave's yet in St. John's? lovely guy, just got a load more cwtch in!
This is my Cwtch poured tonight. Not too bad consider what it went into the bottle like!
Looks mystical!!!
I dont know if im impressed or scared ðŸËâ°
Looks awesome... may have to do a Cwtch Clone soon... anyone have an AG recipe?This is my Cwtch poured tonight. Not too bad consider what it went into the bottle like!
Either you have not completely fermented out all the sugars or else, your hydrometer may have had some bubbles clinging to it and so artificially raise the appearance of the FGI just tried this kit - was really easy/straightforward and smells lovely.
Have just put into a corny keg to condition (is that the right term?).
One question I had was around the FG reading (after fermenting at around 18C for 12 days). My SG sounds bang on at 1046 but the FG was 1020 which seems higher than some of the other readings. So this comes out at 3.38 % ABV which is somewhat lower than expected
Any thoughts why this might be so low? Wondering if the batch got contaminated at all when adding the second batch of hops (after 4 days at which time the gravity reading was 1023).

Some times isn't this due to the high OG though? I thought (according to brewers friend (1020-1025) was OG?An FG of 1020 is a classic sign of a stuck brew - don't know why, but if a brew sticks it'll usually be at 1020.
Kits made by Muntons do have a reputation for sticking, Wherry is the worst. It's usually due to the miserly small yeast packet that comes with the kits, not enough for a 23L bew, can you remember how much yeast came with Cwtch? Other reasons are too low a fermenting temp.

Not saying it is in this case just generally...
