I only used a primary and left it in there for about 3 weeks then bottled it. I cant really remember too much about the beer except that it was good.Hi BeerPressue - First, congrats on being the recipient of my first post/lucky you! I just got finished brewing my first (solo) batch, an AHS American IPA, which came out fantastic! I followed the AHS recipe instructions TO A Tee (I didn't want to blame any bad results on not following the prescribed process). So now I'm on brew #2, the AHS Sam Smith Oat Stout clone, and I had a couple of quick questions for ya since I saw you brewed it (only 1.5 yrs ago )...
1) Tomorrow makes day 7 in Primary, she's still fermenting pretty good based on the bubble rate. Did you follow the AHS recipe w.r.t. timing in Primary/Secondary? All the reading I'm doing on stouts suggests keeping it in the primary/secondary longer than what AHS says (1 week Primary/1 week Secondary).
2) So how did yours turn out/any recommendations based on your experience with this kit?
