Got mine into the Corny on Thursday. Left it in the fridge for 8hrs and then force carbonated. Had my first taste last night and although still a little cloudy as it has not really had a chance to settle too much it tasted very good.

Really nice citrus aroma, grapefruit etc, and a very nice and not too bitter taste. Hold it head really well. I can see this one not lasting too long...

:D

Mine was down to 1.016 yesterday (Day 11) and i'm wondering when to chuck in the hop pellets. I might add them today (Day 12) and give it 15-16 days to finish up in total, or do the pellets HAVE to be in there for 5 days?

Just finished up my Wherry last night too, so the barrel is free for this now!!!

Cheers.

I couldn't resist trying a Golden Stag 10 days after bottling.

It's not bad at all already!

Not as light or as fruity as I was expecting but already pretty nice.

I'll move it somewhere cooler on day 14 and leave it alone for the prescribed further 3 weeks after that (yeah right :mrgreen: )

My mate and I shared the last 5ltrs of Golden Stag last night whilst watching the England vs Italy game.

The beer was lovely...

...and it helped kill the pain of defeat! :cry:
