First 5gal. batch started! It's an amber ale straight from the kit, with a little extra love and some tips gathered from this site...most notably the hop chart I found while looking at pictures.
I've been told 2-2-2 is about the perfect time for most ales, 2wks primary, 2wks secondary, and 2 weeks bottle conditioned.
My question, is why not do 1wk in primary, and 3 wks in glass carboy, then bottle for 2. Would this be advisable, inadvisable or unnecessary?
I just feel like more time in glass = better beer, any thoughts?
