So I'm making the Surly Bender Clone from NB. It recommends doing a 1-2 week primary and 2-4 week secondary. Lately I have stopped doing a secondary. I don't really see any advantage. I'm thinking a 3 week primary might be my route. 4 weeks on primary sounds a bit long. Any other "non-secondary" brewers have any suggestions on primary length? I once left a pale mild in primary for 4.5 weeks (i forgot about it in a closet). It turned out to be one of the best beers I ever made.
