Just a quick follow-up on my 1 gallon, over-pitched porter (The O.P.P., as it's appropriately been named): After going wild in the fermenter during early fermentation, things died down and I switched to airlock on day 5. I waited one month before bottling and batch primed w/ maple syrup. In...

Thanks for the feedback. I switched to secondary (glass carboy) after seven days in the primary and a hydrometer check to confirm that I had hit FG. I've read that it's best to check for a few consecutive days before drawing conclusions about gravity readings, so in the future I will plan to...
