This time I waited and kept it out of the airing cupboard. Will have to leave it in the bottles for a few weeks then put some in the fridge for another week or so.

Youngs lager kit. First batch was a bit sour, due to the airing cupboard being too hot so it fermented in about 24 hours!! This batch took about 10 days, before I bottled it. Not tasted it yet though.
