I just made a pretty simple brown ale recipe. I downloaded the free trial of Beer Smith and plugged in my numbers. I have some pretty low IBU's. I wanted a malty beer, but still a little light. Curious if anyone can give me insight as to how long I should let it bottle condition to knock out a bit of the sweetness.
