I'm going to be brewing a pumpkin stout - ideally for consumption in late September early October. I've read that stouts can actually improve a great deal given the opportunity to condition for awhile after bottling. I want to get the timing of the brew and it's consumption to work out properly.
So...
Would it make sense for me to brew it now, give it a good run in primary (probably not going to rack it to secondary), bottle it and then let it condition for a few months?
Should I wait a bit before brewing?
I want to get the best possible flavor without conditioning too long or not giving it enough time.
Thoughts?
