Directions say 12 weeks, is that really neccessary?

What was the OG? I generally go with a month for anything under 1.050 and add a month for every 10 points extra.

I made this beer back in January and left it in primary for a month (not necessary just how life went), I have been drinking it since and I have to say that after 8 weeks it was awesome, I am actually drinking one now and it is great! So the longer the better. I also did the Irish stout and I feel the same about how much better it is after waiting.

Og was around 1.042, yeah i made the Irish stout as well and is getting better and better

With a smaller beer, they condition faster. Four weeks seems to be a standard minimum.

Longer is better.

Coopers, that's a kit?
