This was my first kit and I'm still waiting to have my first sample. The waiting is a little painful!
I left it in the fv for about 2 weeks, managed to get the FG to 1012. Has been sitting in bottles now for a week in the dark at room temp. Had a sneak peek yesterday and can't believe how clear the beer is, with the usual sediment at the bottom of the bottles. Will do my first taste test next weekend. Just brewed the kit with no additions, and calculated the ABV should be 4.2%.
A little part of me wants to try one of the beers after 7 days of bottling... worried it will taste bad though!
