I started I on 2/3/2013 and harvested today 14/3/2013 so quite quick. It is still fermenting a bit. I am sure that I have contaminated it with some bacteria etc. so I will have to keep it cold but the sweetness is fine and it has the kick, no question about that so I can announce a basic success! (o the fermentation temperature was around 25C).</font></span></div><div style="font-family: 'bookman old style',
