I know I've heard the mantra from most on this site saying 21 days @ 70 degrees temp. However, I got some advice from a local shop where I buy my stuff that it was unnecessary. Instead, he said that with average Hawaii temps around 80 it should only take about 5 days. When I asked him about what was said on this site he said, "Yes, at 70 it probably would take 21 days. But I've never heard of that before. The longest I've heard of anyone waiting for bottle fermentation was 2 weeks with a very heavy beer." He's been brewing for a long time and has dealt with many people brewing from his shop so I doubt the 5 days thing is a pipe dream.
I'm just asking here if anyone has tried a shorter bottling time and noticed any major difference between a longer brewing time, tastewise, with a similar beer.
