I'm sure it'll be fine. Ales are the easiest. I was told I didn't need a secondary and after about 5 days I was ready to keg. Gravity stayed the same so I did and I'm drinking it now!

I'm putting the cherries in a container with the vodka for a couple weeks per advice from my local brew shop owner who has been in the business for 25 years. I'm poking around to get feedback. You guys think it'll F up the end result? I trust the guy, but still respect the popular opinion. I can...

Tannin? The guy from back to the future, Biff? What's he doing in my beer? Jk haha

I'll try that on my next batch

Thanks, I'll do that.

Anybody have any good Irish stout lately? I recently made a batch and was drinking it in a little over a week and it was awesome! Anybody got any good recipes?

Go for it! It's great. Aside from the mistakes I made from brewing to kegging, it came out awesome! Give it a shot and let me know how it turns out for you... The recipe itself is awesome
