English Brown Ale in primary for 16 days @ 70F
It turned out to be about 3 gallons worth and I got 28 beers out of it. My FG was high around 1.016, but it was that yesterday and last week; so I decided to go ahead and bottle. I have them all in a Sterlite bin with the top on it, so if I get a bottle bomb it will not destroy my carpet. No problems bottling except for a little aeration here and there, but it wasn't catastrophic. I tasted the last half bottle I got out of it and it is pretty close to Newcastle with a more bitter alcohol taste although it is only around 3.5% ABV. I am happy about it. Got an Irish Stout waiting on bottling and an ESB kit in the mail. I am thinking of cold crashing the stout, but I am not sure yet. 2 kits (about to be 3) brewed in the first month!!!!
