You started off with a great kit! Try to keep your grubby mitts off it for at least a couple of weeks to carbonate. It'll be at its best at about 2months in the bottle, but as it's your first brew you'll probably drink it all too soon and enjoy every drop of it ;D
For the Traditional Draught, try to keep the temperature down between 16-18 degrees as the supplied blend of ale and lager yeast works best at a lower temperature than the straight coopers' ale yeast.
How did you turn the wheatbeer into a german style? different yeast?
Sorry. I'm bombarding your hello with questions.
Pop over to the Kit Brewing (http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/forum/index.php/board,9.0.html) section if you need any help along the way :)
