Beer Brewing! - Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter! Twitch LIVE!

You look bored waiting for that water to boil. Put a lid on as much of the kettle as what you can cover until it starts boiling.

 

I did it twice and then said, "screw that!!"

 

I don't particularly like to watch water boil. It's pretty boring, lol. So I went electrical.

 

I used to have a three burner electric stove and split my wort among three pots, each sized differently according to the burner. It wasn't exactly fast but it worked.

 

What's the ABV on this beer? Sometimes higher alcohol beers do take longer to carbonate because the yeast may be tired or possibly stunned from the alcohol. I normally check a first bottle after 10 days and decide from there how much longer to wait for good carbonation before starting to drink them.

 

That ABV is borderline whether it will be a slow carbonation period in my experience, but you should have at least a little pssst when uncapping your first one around 10 day mark. But your beer will improve its taste with bottle conditioning over a longer time period so the 10 week mark is reasonable for its peak flavor.
