how did this one work out? Was the 30 day primary fermentation noticeable in taste in the finished product? Seems long to have it sitting on its trub, but would be convenient for me to just leave it. Curious.

Mine is totally ready to bottle. Im gonna take your advice and assume the yeast count is still active despite adding about 2 shots worth o the 40% Jameson Irish whiskey. Like you, I used the 1968 ESB. The flavor was pretty spot on when i sampled, lets hope it conditions well to keep that flavor...

Thanks for the timely response! I pushed this one back to next weekend as well, glad I saw you change something in the recipe. Why might I ask are you taking out the flaked barley? Just to switch it out with toasted malts? Also wondering if my plan to put the whiskey soaked chips in will...
