Nice! I wish I could be brewing today too....been a great day (even record high temps) for brewing. Ah well keeping my fingers crossed for Sunday. Gonna be brewing then for sure.

Let us know how it turned out and how your friend enjoyed brewing!

In the fermentor now. How long have you guys been keeping this beer in primary? Since it's on US-05, not sure if I should do a typical 4 week primary (sans secondary) or keg it after fermentation stops. I just now re-read the recipe and see that is calls for 14 days in primary. I've never kegged a beer that young, so this will be a new experiment for me. :-)

Unless I am being super lazy, I get this beer off the yeast and into the keg after 14 days. I've left it in the primary for as long as 5 weeks one time and didn't notice any difference in taste.
