I have a year of brewing under my belt so I understand the basics. I may have given my first bad batch as christmas gifts (it's cool just the in-laws). I ordered the AHS Chocolate Orange Holiday something or other. I taste zero chocolate or orange and the finish is super bitter. Not hoppy bitter...
I brewed an Irish Stout 5 weeks ago. I racked it into secondary about 3 weeks ago with some coffee beans. I wanted to bottle it this weekend but had a pipe burst and flood my living room. Now my next 2 weekends are taken up by me playing Handy Manny. Do I need to bottle it asap or will it be ok...
I just brewed my second batch ever. It was a True Brew Irish Stout. The instructions (which were horrible) said the OG was to be 1.042 - 1.048. Mine ended up 1.072! Is that really bad? If so where did I go wrong?
