  Will leaving the beer on the yeast cake for 2-3 weeks fix any off flavors that was
  produced?Well, it won't hurt your beer to stand on the cake for a couple more weeks, giving it

  I brew in my kitchen all the time. I use a 28L electric urn and maxi-BIAB for 5 gallon batches

  even let the home...
