In mid February, I brewed 10 gallons each of my standard Amber and a RIS. I was just about to get both into a keg, and ended up in the hospital for three weeks. (eeeek!, I'm all better now)
Anyway, I got my girlfriend to keg it for me, but as she didn't know how to carbonate, we just left it at about 40 degrees in the keg for a month. Finally carbonated and low and behold, the Amber is terrific. I brewed the RIS for a friend, and they really raved about it. (not my style, so I don't know)
Anyway, hopefully this will teach me some patience. (probably not)
