I brewed the "Brewers Best Bold Series Russian Imperial Stout" and would love to hear peoples thoughts on fermenting and storing. Here is a quick run down of the brew.
6.6 lbs Dark malt extraxt
2 lbs Dark Dry Malt Extract
8 oz crushed roasted barley
8oz crushed Black Patent
1 lb crushed crystalmalt 60l
1oz columbus hops
I brewed it on the 2nd and have it fermenting in a ale pale. Fermentation has slowed a lot since, about a bubble every 45 seconds to a mintues. I plan on racking when the specific gravity stops. My question is how long should I keep it in the secondary fermenter? And after I bottle it how long should I let it condition in the bottle?
