After a bit of a delay i finally got round to brewing with this last week, and so far so good. Brew day went fine, though i lost a bit more than expected through evaporation and ended up with 21.5l in the fermenter at 1.044. Yeast hydrated as per the instructions and was fermenting vigorously within 24 hours, airlock was quiet within 3 days. Just checked the gravity today 5 days after brewing and it's down to 1.014, i've bumped the temperature up from 20degC to 21 and will raise it again tomorrow to 22 and leave for a little while longer to see if the gravity drops any further. The smell is absolutely divine, proper English beer!

Sounds good! I wouldn't expect it to drop much more even with a modest OG, which is one reason I like the yeast.
