My recipe (Irish red ale from northernbrewer.com) says that my beer will be ready in six weeks. However, the recipe that came with the kit (it was pretty general) said to ferment for approximately a week in the primary fermenter, then bottle it, then let it sit for another 2 weeks or so. It is a little longer for "Heavy ales" but I've never considered Irish Red to be a heavy ale, though maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, where is the extra time, to I leave it in the fermenter for longer than is called for, or do I keep it in the bottles for longer than is called for?
Thanks
