Update:
So basically, all the work is worthless unless you end up with something drinkable eh?
So how did it taste, well here's a summary, drinking a bottle a week to see how it develops in taste.
1 week in the bottle; pretty much tastes like Satan's cock! Down the sink with that bottle!!!
2 weeks in bottle; not a lot better...but now has a cidery aftertaste, yup mostly down the sink once I couldn't fake the enjoyment anymore!!!
3 weeks in bottle; couldn't face the disappointment, so brought some nice beer from the shop...
4 weeks in the bottle; got a pleasant surprise! Still has a hint of cider and yeast, has a pretty light/weak flavour that an unkind person would describe as "piss week".... yet strangely it's very drinkable.
So, there's hope. Should've listened to Pete and not opened it so early...but come on, we learn by or mistakes and this is the price of education :-)
