ryanshelton said:just had my first taste of my bottled wherry. Bottled 8 days ago, tastes very yeasty and very gassy. Not cleared and no head......everything id expect from tasting a beer thats only been bottled 8 days!
Hope it improves over the next few weeks, really dont want to wait to long

The woodfordes kit I made before going all grain was good but this brew....stands way above it

Completely agree. :thumb:warnie said:Kinleycat said:Five weeks in conditioning and its just starting to clear a bit.
Mine was the same last week at the five weeks conditioning mark. I'm going to sample another tonight one week later, I must say though out of the few brews I've done so far this one has needed the most conditioning. It was also the one I had the most hopes for, but so far although it's not bad it's still not as good as my coopers IPA or stout.

Had a couple of bottles after two weeks conditioning and was far from impressed.
Cracked one open tonight and WOW what a difference.
It's still not 100% clear but it's a beautiful colour and the creamy head hugs the glass all the way down.
This really is very good, much better than anything else I've brewed on both smell, flavour and feel. I'm deffo a convert but by golly does it take some time to develop!!!
My wherry is in the warm for a week,[ bottled 1 week ago] and i tried one to see how its doing. Its cloudy, but certainly not rank. I even quite enjoyed it.Brewbob said:Kinleycat said:Bottled this on the 5th February so about 7 weeks ago.

Aha!! I was wondering, I kegged mine about 7-10 days ago, tried a little bit tonight and it was rank, I know it takes a couple of weeks to clear but I was thinking it was vinegar. I think I'm just going to hide it for a few more weeks and hope its ready for my 40th in May...

GJB said:Hi all,
I have only been brewing since Xmas, and the wife (realising it is saving me money and hangovers, and giving me a hobby) bought me a Wilko's keg for my birthday.
I had a Wherry kit just coming to time in the FV, so I sanatised my new barrel, put the WW in and 80g of suger. It has been in my en-suite cupboard at a constant 18 degrees for a week.
Been reading that I should now shift it to somewhere cold.
The problem is I have the "beer cupboard" at 18 degrees, or the garage at about 2 degrees. We have 2 small kids that mean the rest of the house is at 18+.
Should I leave it kegged for 8 weeks in teh cupboard, or shift it out to the garage, where I hate to say it is at the mercy of the East Midlands weather, which is snow at the minute?
Cheers
