I just bottled my first lme kit today, an american red ale from brewers best. I left it in primary for 5 days, before moving to secondary for 10 days more. I am hoping to be able to crack a few open on New Years with the wife. Does anyone have any advice on whether or not it will be drinkable by then, or is there a way to accelerate carbonation without risking taste issues?
Also, i did notice my beer was rather cloudy in the bottle. Will this settle out at all, or will the cloudiness be an issue I will have to deal with. I didn't know about fining agents such as irish moss @ the time I brewed, or I would have gone that route. Will definitely be using fining agents in my IPA which will be brewed tomorrow night.
Lastly....I absolutely love having found this site. The fountain of information to be found here is amazing...if not sometimes overwhelming. This site gets addictive almost as quickly as home brewing itself, lol. Revvy's bottling thread made my day go soooo much easier today. Much thanks.
