I was lucky enough to try an Oak Aged Pumpking on tap this summer. ST Pumpking all day.

What about Pennsylvania Brewing Company, they make Penn Pilsner? Also, Fat Heads makes some solid beers like Head Hunter IPA. Gotta show some love for Pittsburgh.

Brewing after I had too much beer. I dropped my Better Bottle while aerating. Thank God that only a few drops sprayed out and sprayed me in the face....

I would say after 2 months you can still use them but they lose their strength.

also the 1.004 gravity beer had an expected FG of 1.010

hmm do you think the SG is low/stable enough to bottle?

The 1.013 is .001 below the FG and the 1.004 I don't know because it was a NB kit. The innkeeper actually.

haha thanks I have two brews one at 1.004 and one at 1.013 which have been stable since monday. I just don't want bottle bombs :P Will I be ok if I bottle them tonight? Like I said, they taste great...

Okay. I did a gravity reading yesterday and today - they are exactly the same. Also, it tastes really good and has been 3 weeks in primary...should i wait till tomorrow to confirm that it has reached FG or bottle tonight?

2 or 3?

never used foil but I am sure it is similar to foam stoppers. Sounds good.

I don't think it is a big deal. Give it about 3 weeks in primary (assuming it is a normal gravity brew) then bottle. That's what I would do.

or a foam stopper.

I always put a small square of sanitized foil on my starters. Seems to work well while it is cooling in an ice bath. I put a foam stopper in my flasks to allow the wort/yeast to breathe.

I would say move it somewhere 70-75 for a week and see how it is then.
