My IIPA has been in the fermenter for 3 weeks now and has hit a steady FG. Last night I took my final hydrometer sample and of course tasted it. It's still pretty hot being that it's 11.3% ABV. I plan on leaving it in primary for at least 1 more week, then I was going to age it for a bit before dry hopping it.
This is my first big beer, so I'm just curious how long I'll need to age it before the booze taste is gone. I know I'll just need to keep tasting it as I go, but I was just wondering if you guys could give me your anecdotal info.
Thanks!
