4 months? ... what is it now 3 days? ... better start another batch now cos batch one will only last 3 days
No, three to four weeks. I'll make it three. Been about 2 1/2 days. But yeah, definitely need more bottles or you can't start again until you've drunk it all, and it makes about two cases.

Dry hopping in the last 5-7 days will make it taste less like pre-packaged plop.

Worth considering.

Oh gee - where the hell did i get 4 months from? ... scared the poo outta me
That would be too much of a project for me. That said, just reading now it seems like it should be two weeks before bottling and minimum two weeks before drinking, but probably more like 4-5 weeks til it's at its best. Bloody hell.

Looks like I've got plenty of time to look into it. But as it's my first go I dunno if I wanna get too fancy.

Just did gravity test btw, has dropped to 1013 from 1040. FG is supposed to be about 1008. Doesn't taste too good though.

I can make my own salami and cheese but never tried beer.

I can make salami but just the one. A little one.

It only costs about $100 for the beer kit so I thought why not. You'd probably be good at it as maintaining a stable temperature seems important, so I'm sure you could rig up something.
