last weekend and it is in my fermentor. Here's my question. I used bittering herbs instead of hops for flavoring and aroma. I have read where hops is a natural preservative for beer.
How long can I leave my gruit in the secondary before I bottle?
Is it better to bottle early and let it age in the bottle or the secondary.
I think this ale is going to need some time and I just don't know what my timing issues are.
OG per recipe is 1.050 and I got an adjusted 1.047
I do not know what the FG is yet.
Thanks
