I've been extract brewing for almost 2 years now. I always use a bucket for primary for about a week and a glass carboy for a secondary for 2 weeks or so, depending on the beer. Then I prime with a corn sugar before I bottle.
My question is, how long do you guys usually expect a brew to be bottled before it is no longer green? I'm super picky about flavor. So, my stouts usually take 6 months to taste really good. I'm drinking a pale ale right now that has been in the bottle almost 4 months and still tastes a bit green. I'm finding that 6 months is about the standard for me for most of my beers. Is this normal?
