Even more important, you must resist opening one before 3 weeks (assuming you just bottled).
I bottle a couple of small bottles and open one at the 1 week and 2 week marks. It's quite substantial the difference by week 3 for sure.

From what I read online the longer the beer is allowed to sit after bottling the better it is.
Will be picking up more stuff next week to start the next brew.

Hopefully it will. Just need to wait a few weeks to find out.

Tonight asked the wife who shall I say is nasally gifted…she can smell burning toast from the 2 floors up. Asked for her help to check to make sure the batch smelled ok. So far so good no skunk like smell.
So what are you guys brewing next?
I just finished a Saison, up next:
Dunklewisen
Rye IPA
Pale Ale
CDA
Winter ale

Waiting patiently for my Wet Coast IPA to carb up (July 14 into the bottle), Sierra Nevada Pale Ale to finish secondary this week, and I just put a Shaftsbury ESB into the primary on Saturday.
I don't plan ahead - just waiting…
how does one make a winter?

Why wait two weeks?

Winter ale
damn, for once i need to get mine rolling earlier. hard to think about viscous stouts of blackened dooom in the middle of summer, but i never seem to get my shit together in time for the holidays. think i'm going to concoct an imperial chocolate coconut stout; thick, creamy [HTML_REMOVED] rich - desert in a glass. i had an epiphany when i made a chocolate stout float with coconut ice cream…
Some sad news today. Dan Small (Dan's Hombrewing Supplies) passed away.
