Another stupid question?
When you say
"Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): Bulk age for 6-8 months @ 60"
I assume that aging in the bottle for a few months would tick this box? Could I just bottle straight from the primary after 30 days or does it need to go to secondary for a period before bottling. If it needs to be racked to secondary, what would be a minimum time before bottling and does it need a cold crash?
Bulk aging does give a better result. I also found that beers that bulk age are ready sooner in the bottle that strong beer bottled to early.
I have done the comparaison on the same batch and bottle some early than other after another 4 months. There was a noticeable difference between the two. The one bulked age was much better when compared to the one that was bottled early. The one in the bottle did improve though but it took much longer.
