Hey Guys-

Just wanted to say I tapped my keg of this on Thanksgiving and it effin' ROCKS! I sat there trying to think about how to improve it, and I really couldn't come up with anything! Great mouthfeel, awesome roasty finish...VERY little room for improvement. This is truly one of those beers that beats a commercial example any day of the week. I used Northern Brewer hops, and an extra pound of 2 row (my efficiency sucks). Definitely gonna do this one again.

How long did you let this sit in primary and secondary? Looks to me that ScubaSteve went from Brewday to drinking in 22 days? Is that right? Damn, I need to get my kegging gear.

Yeah, I waited a couple weeks, then went directly from primary to keg for another week of aging at room temp. Turned out great, and because I stored in the keg under about 20 psi, it came out with adequate carbonation. Definitely a good beer, but I find I can only have about 3 before I feel bloated, etc.

I primary for 10-14 days then straight to keg. Let it carb for a week then I tap it. This and my hefeweizen I can be drinkin in 20 days or less.

I had 3 last night. I didn't have them back to back though, they were thrown in a mix. Didn't really feel bloated though, I piss so much when I drink I almost feel empty.
