I've done a few all extract batches, and they're generally ready to drink after 6 weeks. 5 weeks would be tolerable, barely.
I have my first couple of batches with steeping with 1 lb of grains in bottles. One is at 8 weeks, now, and still really tastes grain-ey. (An american pale ale.) The other, a pseudo pilsner (pilsner brewing with ale yeast) is at 5 weeks, too, and has the same kind of muddy quality.
Do extract brews normally finish faster than steeping grains / AG, or did I mess something up? I used a brewing thermometer and was in the correct range of temps and times for the steep.
