..... whats that?..... Cornelius kegs?! Oh yes.. and they are shiny too..

Should I put this down to the fact that its a strong beer and that its not conditioned yet

General rule of thumb, 1 week conditioning for every 10 gravity points, so 1.072 = at least 6 weeks. Any harsh tastes will mellow over this period, however it's a good idea to keep trying it over this period until it tastes right FOR YOU, after all, it's brewed by you, for you

It can cost to start up, but its worth it.. if your ever in doubt go clean 50 bottles for every brew then decide again.....
