    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Has anyone aged this recipe? I'm assuming you would just loose some hop flavor/bitterness. I have two kegs that will be about 3 months old when they are tapped(full pipeline)

    Slanting yeast

    Can I get by with a 6 quart pressure cooker? I got it for free and would rather not pay 30$ for a new one. Also do you need to have a pressure gauge?
