As far as temps go, personally I stick to 18'c with ale yeasts unless after a fruity ale


+1, I love a fruity ale but unless it's a Belgian heavy I never ferment in the 20's.

Well my first ferment smells like beer so that's gotta be good :laughing-rolling: smells good enough to drink actually :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

It's just a kit of some sort, but had malt, hops and other shit in it.... looking forward to kegging it :D

Just give it Time, you will find that the longer it ages the better it gets. Much like liquor!

Well I enjoyed my first home brew beer last night, it's gassed up nicely and holds a decent head.

Probably not the best in the world but it's good enough to get me pissy :dance: :dance: :dance:
