I don't agree, I will do 8 days MAX for an ale
Without some specific reason, I'm with you... but I'll give KB the benefit of the doubt with my ignorance and see how his 30 days plays....

It's not cheap, but I think I'll try it out and see if any of that smokey bourbon flavor makes it to the beer.

I'm hoping I get enough carbonation. My priming sugar, I use plain cane sugar, but I think it cooled too Mich and was too thick to mix while I siphoned to the bottling bucket. There was still some of the sugar on the bottom of the bucket when I finished bottling.
Sudz - are you sure the AA% of your hops match the recipe? I'm far from a hop lover, I stay more towards Belgian and maltier style beers, and I would say the hops just balance this one out.
Did you ever conceder that the problem might be that the company had a mix up in the bags ?
Sudz said:No problem with my hops unless the supplier packaged them incorrectly and I highly doubt that.
Actually, I don't believe there's anything wrong with this beer. It's just more hoppy than I personally prefer. My friends seem to like it.
Right, got my DAP, candy thermometer arrives tomorrow, beer ingredients the day after that.
Brewing this on Saturday, very keen to see how it works out.
Kind a looks like the description I guess.. Hopefully get a bit clearer after a bit of lagering.
