Same mistake I made. I figured I didn't need the box after I'd kept it for 2 months, right?
Then, 4 months later, and being that I'd unwhittinglymade mistake number 2 (not making a lable for the bottles with that info on it), I went searching for it to find thebottling dateand couldn't find it anywhere. No problem. I thought. I'll just check my notes that the kit instructions said in plain print, were so important.
Except when I finally found them 3 weeks later, I discovered that I'd made notes so brief, that they were impossible to nail down to a style let alone any actual dates for the process.
[chuckles]
Live and learn (oh. and make better notes and lables now).
Enjoy!

By the way. I finally found the box outside in a pile of cardboard, weathered nicely for 4 months. Got some pics and created some labels but I still don't know the bottling date other than the month.
