Whatever works for you. Ive had some beers taste better at one week bottled than 3 or 6 wks.And the exact opposite also.Some beers best over a year-like the first pumpkin i made.There are too many variables like water/yeast/mashing/grain stability? I still notice more of a green/frutiness with a shorter primary as far as sampleing the hydro sample and less of that with a longer primary.
Ive also mad a ordinary bitter which is suppose to be drank like within 5 minutes of making it. Which was horribly sulfur fart/face beer at first.After a few months-not too bad.The only thing i seen wrong i did was overbitter it on the high end and i dont see that having anything to do with the fart-face un-drinkability it had at first.I actually quite enjoy it now after a few months because drinking farts sucks.
