So my first batch was an AG and I did do one extract. Yeah I guess I'm doing things a little backwards but I had the luxury of falling into my uncle's setup (he drives hard to the paint) which at the time included a full bottle of CO2 and four ball lock cornies. We recently got a great deal at Adventures In Homebrewing and picked up six more pin locks too. Anyways I brewed a dry stout and decided to bottle them. Luckily an old timer brought over two cases of swing tops which is very cool, but even better yet I had enough non twist off bottles chillin around my apartment to bottle the whole batch without even touching those grolsch bottles (quite a few are of the brown variety). Anyways, I know stouts take some aging and I left it in the primary for three weeks, then transferred over to a brief secondary for about 5 days. Since this is my first time bottling I was wondering if you guys think that since this beer has aged quite a bit in primary and secondary and I'm keeping the bottles in a nice environment (dark and between 67-72) that these will be carbed up and ready for St. Patrick's? I know it's kind of a wait and see type thing but I guess I'm just looking for a Yay/Nay vote and to hear what you guys have to say.
Thanks,
Bryan
