Longest time in primary

[wmcc75]

I was just thinking about primary fermentation times, seems lots of people are trying for the shortest fermentation time. I was wondering what are the longest times anybody has left a beer in the fermenter, and its still been good? Ya know like oops I forgot about this beer, or some thing along those lines.

I had a beer that spent about 4 weeks in the primary and 5 months in the secondary. It turned out really good. The last bottle I drank was nearly 6 months in the bottle, so almost a year from it being brewed.

1 month in Primary ( basement in December 60F )

1 month in Secondary ( Detached Garage 5F ) I will leave in Garage as long as it is below 32F - Clears the beer like nothing else !
