Am brewing this weekend. It's Brewers Best India Pale Ale. I've heard different opinions about how long to keep IPA's in primary...cloudy beer doesn't bother me as long as it tastes good, and I am not adding anything. Is two weeks in the primary long enough before Kegging? I have a hard time...

I have a recipe that I really like...It is a Crystal Amber Ale...Here is my question...If I am happy with the bitterness and aroma of the beer, but would like to add a bit more hoppy flavor...would the solution be to simply add more flavoring hops during the boils?...I hope that isn't a dumb...

As anyone brewed Brewers Best Holiday Ale Seasonal in the past? I saw it advertised to come out soon. Thinking of brewing that for the holidays. Looking for input on the flavor, hops, body, aroma, etc.
