I've gotten my brewing practices down pretty well with ferment temperature control, proper yeast pitching rates and nutrients, oxygenation, etc. so that even my high gravity beers have finished fermenting in less that a week.
In the past I've been giving my lower gravity beers 2 weeks in primary (I don't secondary) and the higher gravity beers 3 weeks.
Is there any point in that, as long as the gravity has stopped changing (and is where I expect it to be)?
I keg, so bottle bombs aren't a concern either way.
Most of my beers are better after 4+ weeks of aging, but I assume that process will still happen even if I keg earlier.
Is there any point to waiting longer in the primary or am I just letting the beer sit around at 68-70 degrees for no reason?
