Yep. A week in the fridge kills it. I thought it was good, and everyone liked it. I was thinking it may have been from shredding husks w/ my Victoria mill, as it was the first batch I did with it. It had a definite dry, chalky, kind of yeasty bite. I'm not sure exactly what caused it, but I put some in the fridge for a week at most, and it disappeared. It's great now.

I left it in primary about 2 1/2 weeks, btw.

I use a 5g igloo from Lowe's and this is great in it. I get about 80-85% eff. with a good crush. If I go over 12 lbs it goes downhill dramatically. do it.

What could I expect if I added a small amount of flaked oats to the grain bill? I am thinking about adding a half pound. I like the mouthfeel that the oats give the beer but don't want to ruin this superb brew. Thanks.

I just poured my first from the tap tonight. Excellent. Try it like it is, then make changes.

That's a minor difference in color and taste, it will still be a great beer.
