I'm about to brew my first batch. I wanted to do it over a month ago, but had to go on a month long business trip. Scheduled for another 2-3 weeks in June, then 10 days vacation in July. All that said, I want to do a stout for my first brew. When I read the comments on the recipes I considered from Austin Home Brew, they talked about it fermenting/aging for several months. Dunno if I want to age my first one that long - I'll be anxious to drink it!
Plus, my travel schedule can get crazy.
So, my question is, how long do most of you ferment/age a stout. This will be an extract brew.
