One week in primary, two weeks in secondary. This is my very first brew. There is an off taste to it. My guess is diacetyl. Would I be better suited to let it sit in the secondary for longer, or let it bottle condition?
Bottle.... Or keep in secondary?

Because i'm a noob and my kit came with 2 carboys. One benefit - I have a second brew going in my primary that's not getting disturbed until bottling day. Too much "good" info from other sources,and not enough good info from these forums. Live and learn.....
Bulk aging in the carboy might be beneficial, but not to a huge extent IMO...the beer is still too young to be evaluating...go ahead and bottle if you choose, or wait if you choose...give it some time either way...

+1. I haven't "liked" a single one of my beers out of the primary. I guess I don't have a palate for young, flat beers like others. However, learning a beers potential based off of what it tastes like in this state is a whole 'nother subject.
