Awesome, a quick reply from The Man himself

But my dumb ass decided to go for it anyways. It's already in the carboy and i'm about to start mashing my next brew. Oh well, guess I'll just have to do this one again and compare. Sorry for asking and not listening

Mine will be 9 days old tomorrow and it's still in the primary. You don't do a secondary with this one right?

I don't do a secondary with any of my beers or Apfelwein. They go from primary to keg.

SWEET!!! So i'm not in the s**t's with this one! It'll secondary for a good week, if not more

Even with a bit of sugar left it tasted good. But it's fizzing a bit in the secondary. That's a good sign right? Really looking forward to this one.

I checked my gravity this morning, it's at 1.008. I took a taste of the sample and it was pretty decent. I think I might keg it tonight.

I kegged mine on the 5th and force carbed at 30 until today. I just had to sneak a taste. It still seems to need a little more carbonation and I'm not really getting very much hop flavor yet. It's still pretty damn good for a 12 day old beer thats only been carbed a day and a half.

This one's for you, EdWort!

Despite my weird super-low SG (I'm convinced now it was a bad measurement), the beer turned out great. I popped the first one open just now and it's already just about carbed at the right level. Carbonated way faster than my last batch.

Crystal-clear too!

Thanks for a great recipe.

That's just a stage prop. No way there's actually beer in there. Now I'm jealous.

yes please

I'll be bottling on Sunday and hope for some quick carbonation, as my last two batches need another month or so and everything else is gone!

Mine turned out great too Ed. I'm gonna use this as the base beer for my hop experiments from here on out.

Question: I do get chill haze. I crash cooled it before bottling and it's crystal clear at room temp. Worry or not?

Thanks,
