This looks like a good recipe, I think it might be next on my brew list... I gotta find something to do with the slurry from the wee heavy I just did.

Anyone else brew this? Any notes, comments, changes? Anyone have a pic of it in a glass?

Just brewed this today. Love the color! My OG was 1.052. Any suggestions on the time in the carboys/keg before drinking?

Sorry for the really late reply, but I typically keep this (and all beers) in the primary carboy for 3 weeks before kegging. I then keg and force carb for at least a week and usually two.

For this particular beer, longer is better as it mellows and melds with age. That said, the longest it's lasted has been a few months...
