;D I know the feeling!
Try the Coopers English Bitter with the recommended 500g of spraymalt. It's low ABV so it'll condition really quickly. You could have it ready within 4 weeks and tasting even better in 6. If you wanted to get creative and improve the flavour, do a hop tea of East Kent goldings (or Cascade, to turn it into an American Bitter), or do a small dry hop, or steep a little crystal malt and add to the kit.
This batch is under way.
How should i finish it out.i.e. Priming Storage (temp)?
Thanks

Prime using corn sugar (or table sugar if you don't have any) and let it sit for a 1-2 weeks at normal fermentation temperatures. (Use an online calculator for working out your priming rate.) Then cold-condition it by sticking it out in the shed, or put the bottles in the fridge.
Did you do the english bitter?
Priming caclulator here:

Not yet.that will be the first one next year
Just put this lady in secondary.
It tastes like a weize but lacking sweetness.
Will priming with ordinary sugar take care of this or could I use a specific priming ingredient? Plan to bottle it next weekend.
I like sweeter beer or at least I used to until I started into this malarky
I just checked my records 8) & Young's American Saison kit which i stuck on the 21st of last month & after 3 weeks of primary & 1 of "conditioning" (fizzing up). Is extremely drinkable which is surprising especially for the strength of it. Have had 2 bottles for as they say QC purposes & the only issue is a tiny sugar twang which i know will fade in a couple of weeks. All the dry hops etc do a great job of covering it up i'd say ;)
OOP just realised OP was 2 weeks ago....
