I'm providing beer for a wedding on October 3rd. I've got one ready but I'm just getting around to the second one this weekend. Its an ESB and I'm bottle conditioning. I prefer to use a secondary and my question is how long in each step. Obviously I won't be moving anything until fermentation finishes but I'm using a big starter so it should finish within a week. My initial thought is 2 weeks primary, 2 weeks secondary, and 4 weeks to bottle condition. As for the bottle conditioning I'll prob keep it pretty warm, mid to high 70s for the first week or 2 then gradually dropping the temp down to cellar temps by the end of the 4 weeks.
