Yes. Not too late. I used 2 cans of pumpkin in the mash and one during the last 15 minutes of the boil. Turned out amazing and delicious. Primary took about 2 weeks and about 4 days secondary. I used Bio Fine clear in secondary and kegged after the 4 days. Was drinking pumpkin beer in less than...
All grain- 6 days grain to glass. It is an Amber ale with a 60 and 1 minute hop additions. Not going to go into the process but I did use Biofine Clear and an 8 hour cold crash in my freezer. Drinking it now and it is awesome.
I am not a patient person. And if you are one of those people that can wait 2 months to try your brew then you are a better man than me. Some styles of beer certainly take longer to mature but I generally pick beers in the 1.050 range and will be drinking clear delicious brew in 2-3 weeks. I...

I experienced this same metallic taste. For me it was my beer line that needed to be cleaned. All i did was run some star san through it...Worked for me.
I put the freshly racked keg in my freezer for a couple hours. Set at about 25 psi. Force carb for a couple minutes. Put back in freezer set to serving psi and wait a couple hours or serve the next day. I DO NOT have the patience to put it at serving pressure and wait 2 weeks. Who the hell wants...
These guys are AWESOME!!. they are busy folks but they have superb customer service. They have excellent communication as well. I had to change my order and I received a phone call within 24 hours and they hooked me up. If it's wrong, they make it right. They are the way to go...
I know what you mean. I just brewed an English Pale today and I'm already seeing bubbles (Nottingham yeast). Really though dude. 4 weeks in primary is a long time. You're not going to hurt anything but damn....you must be one patient person. Wish I had that in me...unless you are skipping...
