For all that have brewed this. How long did it stay in primary? Secondary? then how long did you condition it in the keg? I am confused because the recipe in beer smith has 12, 11, 14. Then it says to age for 4 weeks. I dont want to wait forever to drink this yummyness....
I've done this recipe, or a slight variation, probably 50 times. It's always different. I don't go by a set number of days, but by the beer. I've had it ferment out in 24 hours, and I've had it take as long as a week to finish fermenting. Usually, though, it's done in about 5 days and I let it sit a bit longer in primary to clean up, clear, and condition a little bit. So, anywhere from 10-14 days in primary.
Then I rack onto the dry hops, going from 3-10 days depending on my work schedule. When I bottled, I'd let it sit in bottles for 4 weeks or so before trying. Now I keg, so I keg right after dryhopping.
A couple of weeks ago, I kegged it on about day 10, since it was in primary only for about 10 days and dryhopped for three days. That's faster than I usually do, but I used a more flocculant yeast and the beer was clear and finished in 10 days.
Whenever I brew, I don't go by a recipe's timetable. It really depends on each brew- yeast are living organisms and even using the same strain doesn't mean it'll behave the same the next time.
You'd be safe to give it 2 weeks in primary, and a week on the dryhops, if you wanted a general guideline.
