How soon can the beer be consumed?
Realize that you’ll be anxious to determine how you’ve done, we recommend sampling the beer after it has been in the bottles for about two (2) weeks. A well hopped beer will tend to have a little harshness on the back of your palate during this time frame. That harshness will go away with additional aging. In fact, every beer you make, will taste better the older that it gets. For the best results, age your beer around 4-6 weeks, IF YOU CAN. The last beer you open will probably taste the best because of the amount of age it has achieved.
