Hello. I just made a Coffee Donut Imperial Stout with an OG of 1.093. I'd like to hear some thoughts on how long I should age this guy. Typically I do 1 wk primary, 2 wk secondary. Or longer.
A thought. I've had issues disturbing my trub when racking and bottling. Could I just sit the primary or secondary on some ice cold water (about a couple inches high) overnight to freeze or slightly freeze the trub to make it harder to disturb it? Making it more solid.
Yea I knew I was lucky. Got a lot of head too after one week. Don't understand it. I know now to siphon first before adding priming sugar. Just want to thank everyone for their help and feedback. The home brewing community is pretty awesome. Everyone is willing to help each other out. I love it!
I decided to check about after one week. Fully carbonated. Three it all in the fridge to slow down carbonation. It's been 2 weeks since bottling and it it's still good. Only have about 3 bottles left. :)
Brooklyn brew shop has nice 1 gallon kits (AG). And fun beers. Any questions, email them and they'll help you out. After three 1 gallon batches I had to move up to a 5 gallon kit though (which they don't offer). After a few you wont need ingredient kits. I'd skip the extract. Kinda like making...
