I forgot to note when I added the hop pellets to the Golden Stag (18th February).  I left it six days (one day longer than the instructions) because I was worried about leaving it too long on the hops whilst waiting for the fermentation to fully stop (there are dire warnings in the instructions about exploding bottles).  I was surprised that the hops were pellets, but what do I know?

A friend, who is very experienced, tells me that these are hops for flavour, so I should not be too worried about bitterness if they are in the beer too long.  They have certainly worked their way in to the brew well enough as you can see from this picture.

Things have certainly not slowed down!  But at the current rate of gravity change, it will take a couple more days to get below the 1,008 stated in the instructions.

The beer is indeed a lovely golden colour as witnessed when measuring the gravity.
