Hurrah!

Well, just cracked a bottle of my second brew, Woodforde's Nelson's Revenge, and considering it got stuck in fermentation, I'm pretty happy.
A nice, hoppy drop, with a nice sparkle. I've had many worse beers in my life.
I think it's lacking a bit of body, but sure that is due to only being in the bottle for around 4 weeks.

Just like to thank everyone for their input and advice! :D

Another couple of questions, though if I may:

Firstly, all my bottles have a yeast deposit around the side of them (the sides of the bottles aren't straight, there is a slight 'rim' is there any way of preventing this, knocking the sides? Is secondary fermentation the way to go? Also, it's not entirely clear. I added finings, but think it may be due to yeast from decanting (into a litre-jug).

Cheers
