Hops tend to fade away over time, especially with the sweetness of the 90 minute. Perhaps yours was just a bit more aged?

I left mine in the low 30s for about 2 months. It was the best beer I ever made!

With such a vigorous fermentation going, i'm sure you're probably fine.

Once I rack it into my keg, it will never get back up above 40 degrees. it shouldnt ferment anymore should it?

I'm located in southern CT. Any opinions appreciated!

I'm helping my buddy out by smoking a turkey this coming weekend. He said he would provide me with any beer I want to drink. Any suggestions?

+1 on the "long story" lol

I'm also from sw CT. I love the people at Maltose! They are always very helpful in getting you anything you need.

Smoking some chicken, drinking my first lager, an Oktoberfest style. Came out excellent!

Thanks I appreciate it! Cheers!
