I'm heard that big beers need more time to condition. Does this relationship hold across the spread of OG's? (i.e., do small beers need less time to condition than mid-OG beers, etc...)

I'm asking because my last batch was, or so I thought, the biggest brewing screw-up of my life (and also my first AG), but now after only 1 week in the bottle, it tastes better than anything I've made yet (for its age).

Short backstory: I was hoping to make a 5gal 1.054 Brown Ale, but ended up trying to salvage too much water by making 10gal of 1.030 "mild".

:confused:
 
Someone recently posted that they recommend something like 1 wk for every 0.010 pts SG, but I'm not sure. I saw a chart recently that reflected something like 3 months for 1.070 -ish beers (my usual gravity). If I ever come across it agian I'll post it here.
