This may be a disappointment. My beer is not carbonated yet. It's been in the bottle for 15 days at a steady 68-70 degrees and has a slight carb to it, no head at all. It does, however, taste great and gives you a head change with just one glass. It's my first 5 gal batch (started with Mr.Beer) Autumn Amber Ale from MWS. I am forced to put a 12 pack in the fridge today so it will be super chilled by game time tomorrow. I know the rule of thumb is around 70 degrees for a minimum of three weeks, but I wanted this ready by super bowl time. Hopefully my friends won't think it's horrible. I have a friend who just started kegging and force carbonating his beer and will bring his keg to the party. Will be interesting to see the difference in quality of beer between kegging and bottling.
