Well, the Cream Ale is in the fermenter. How long before I can drink this stuff? Recipe says fermenter for 2 to 3 weeks, but how long after it's bottled is a general wait time?
Unless you are going for serious alcohol content most of the fermentation will be done within a week, just check with hydrometer then transfer it to a secondary for clearing or other additions or bottle. In the bottle my experience has been that its good after 2 weeks but I also echo dot com in that it gets better over time. Def good to go by 3-4 weeks.
