i know higher gravity ales need to be conditioned a little longer before they get real good. my question is how long til i can start drinking, when will it be best? i made a 'double but brown', which i didnt take an og for cause it was the first time i had used a carboy for a primary and didnt think about how i was going to get it. pro-mash estimates it at about 1.075, not too high, but not too low. on a side note---i will make this much stronger next time---anyways, it was bottled two nights ago, i usually let them sit threew eeks before drinking. will this be OK by then. should i wait a month and ahalf, two months, longer? it tasted good at bottling time, aside from heavy banana esters, a little green though.
