10 Barrel Apocalypse IPA and my first batch of Apfelwein.

I'd have to agree with progmac here. The krausen tends to stick around a little longer on my beers, but I tend to ferment in the 60-63 range. That puppy's above 9%.

Do you still have airlock activity?

What temp is your ferment? What kind of yeast? Did you use a starter? That's a pretty big beer. My guess is it will take a couple of weeks to ferment all the way.

Saturday I'll be making a Dead Guy inspired brew.

I've been thinking about getting a septic tank installed in the back yard so I could lager 500g at a time year round.

Overalls and my Redwings. I vary the amount of shirts based on the temp.

I completely agree about the choices around here. I swear people's tasebuds are completely fried in these parts. I can't even find a porter that isn't bitter hopped to the moon. Good luck with the ESB and all your future brews. :mug:

Let me know how your's turns out. I'm excited to try the Pacman yeast. I'm going to re-pitch this yeast for a Dead Guy clone next. :mug:

I forgot about the stripper episode. I gladly withdraw my submission, and, thanks for the reminder. Giggity.

I would like to qualify that I usually make lighter in gravity and color beers.

I've tried carbing for two weeks and found no difference(to me) in the outcome. I usually do my primary for 3-4 weeks. I also have found that if I need to "age" my beers in the keg, it's because I missed a flavor profile in my recipe, and I'm hoping it mellows out.

Cold crash for 1 day. Force carb and let sit for 1 day. Drinking day 3. Why wait for weeks when you can drink in 72 hours?
