Well I bottled it last night. FG was 1.006. I did the batch sugaring method with 150g. So shouldn't be too fizzy. It tasted a bit too bitter. I think i can attribute that to the 2 small pieces of orange peel and 6 coriander seeds that were in with the brew. Will be more careful next time for...

Heh, Can you tell it's like only my 3rd batch. I'm only taking small samples via the tap (30ml or so). I'll leave it for a few days then.
