LOL SQ on the thermometer! I hope it was an alcohol one and not a mercury one

What was your recipe, yeast and ferment temperature? Are you going to bottle or keg? As shib says, you should be able to reduce the three weeks bit without penalty.
A General Bottling Question...
If SQ intends to bottle (I haven't bottled in years and when I did had no knowledge of what I was doing
), would there be any penalty in him crash-chilling his fermenter, assuming he is able, so as to clear the beer before he bottles?
Luckily, only the outer glass container of the floating thermometer broke. The inner working part stayed intact.
I will bottle. I have no kegging setup. I have no capability to crash-chill.
Recipe follows. If it turns out well, I will post it to the recipes section.

Notes/Instructions/Comments:
- Original recipe was adjusted by the Sierra Nevada Brewmaster to match SNPA! I scaled the recipe down to 2.5 gal and adjusted for my available hops.
- "Coin Flip Pale Ale" because I dropped the thermometer into the pot of cooling wort and broke it while pulling a coin out of my pocket to flip to settle a disagreement between my kids.

I had previously done two extract-with-specialty-grain brews (Hefeweizen and Stout) back in May. The BIAB was a Sierra Nevada American Pale Ale clone.
