My first brew was an Ironmaster porter, it tasted terrible and its at about 8 weeks. I am going to give it another shot tonight.

Its pretty discouraging to have your first batch taste bad. I tried one a few weeks ago and it was finally drinkable. It has carbonation but it lacks any head to speak of.

I did a batch of Ed's Haus Pale Ale though and that sucker is dang drinkable after 2 weeks in the bottle.

Im going to do a better porter here soon I think.

Also, I think you could continue to bottle condition them at room temp, jut keep them in a plastic bucket with some water a quarter way up the bottles. The evaporation should keep the temperature down (or blowing a fan at them would help the water evaporate)

I made the Midwest Brewing Power Pack Porter kit last year. I let it sit in the secondary fermenter for 4 weeks after 2 weeks in the primary. Then I let it condition in the bottle for 8 weeks before having one and it turned out extremely well.
