Hoping for a bit of advice from anyone who's had success with this beer kit...
https://www.balliihoo.co.uk/vik-beer-15kg-premium-lager
On the instructions it outlines a typical first stage fermentation in the FB of about 5-7 days. It then says to transfer to the keg which is fine.
The bit I'd like come clarification on is it says to leave the barrel for 2 weeks at room temp and then move the barrel for another 2 weeks into colder conditions. So in total 5 weeks for what appears to be a fairly standard beer kit.
This seems a bit long? I know the longer left the better but 5 weeks before it's ready seems a bit excessive.
Happy to wait if I must. (my keg of IPA is now ready and my bottled cider will be in a few days) but just wanted to know if anyone else has experience with this beer kit.
