The carbonation phase is nearly complete, I’ve managed to keep my hands off of the beer this long, so you’d think I’d be able to let it condition for a couple of weeks longer. No. There is a very scientific point here that must be observed. 

The question is what, exactly, the conditioning does for the beer. In order to answer this question, I will start chilling one bottle tomorrow. After it has chilled the recommended two days, I will collect data on the taste and quality of my beer. In the same manner, I will collect data after the first and second weeks of conditioning. 

Following the second week of conditioning I will do a lot of data collection!

Thanks to all those who have voted for my next batch of beer. The stout currently holds a strong lead! I will leave the voting up for another week. Go to the interact page to place your vote!
