Brewzor for Android

Brewzor is a great app for the android phone!! The only issue I had was entering the equipment, style and mash profiles for a new recipe. I finally got it. Hold down the buttons from the main recipe screen shown here.

This is different from most selections like the hops, fermentables, etc where you have a dropdown to select the options.

Kegging of the Stone Russian Imperial Stout

Left the beer in the secondary fermenter for two weeks and then got a FG of 1.025

Tasted it and you can definitely taste the alcohol !!

Got it in a 5 gal keg and will save it until St Patrick's day, three weeks away.

How long should I age this beer in the future? Six months? Anybody have any thoughts?
