My first batch of sweet stout (OG 1.062) has been in the primary for two days now and I'm trying to figure out how long to keep it in the 2ndary and bottles. It seems that the general consensus for stouts is pretty much "the longer, the better" as far as aging, but I have a December 17 deadline, which should give me about 5 weeks from the 1st day of 2ndary ferm. Given that, I was wondering whether it'd be better to leave it there for 3 weeks and in the bottles for 2 weeks or the reverse, split them up equally, or even something totally different? Any help dividing things up would be awesome.
