We put ours on yesterday. ESB 3kg Bavarian Wheat kit base made up to 20 litres and Wyeast 3333.
SWMBO is demanding prominent honey flavours and aromas, and residual sweetness. Should I add some less-fermentable sugars (there is such a thing???) at the priming stage to keep some sweetness in it?
Hey BB how did yours taste during the first two months? What made it 'not really drinkable'?
Cheers

BlueJ,
The beer was simply green, too young to drink. You may get a different result, but if you are using a similar recipe, you will most likely need to let it sit for 2 months before you can confidently share one with someone else.
There is also some residual sweetness that I did not detect earlier on, so you should be fine with SWMBO's demands.
Let us know how you go!
BB
