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)
