I am on my 6th batch and I have had the previous beers I've made sit for about 2 weeks before I drink them. How long do you let yours sit and why?
Unless I am rushing a batch for some reason, three weeks in the fermentor then three weeks in the bottle. This can be difficult if the pipeline gets low, but even simple beers often improve for a while. Have a handful of bottles left of my version of KingBrianI's Caramel Amber Ale. I bottled on 3/18/15 and last night's bottle was the best so far. On the other hand, the Cream of Three Crops I bottled the same day hasn't changed since 4/1/15.
This.I generally go 3 and 3 as well. Even on a "drink it super fresh" DIPA, I've noticed a marked improvement in flavor from week 2 to week 3.
i'm confused why people say a week in the fridge ... is this for clarity ?
most beers i brew i drink, mildly chilled... not in the 30's like my fridge makes.
do you guys take it out and let it warm up some before drinking ?
what exactly does a full week in the fridge do ? (other than knock out some suspended yeast)
