Just wondering how everyone here determinds how long they leave their ALES in Secondary for?
I know many people don't use a secondary for ales. Is it purely how patient you are? Or when you need the secondary for another beer? Or the style? How dark the beer is?
If you were in no hurry, say you were bewing for a friend who didn't want it until XX/XX/XXX date, how long would you leave it for?
There must be a time in secondary (say 6 weeks?) where leaving it any more is pointless and you might as well bottle and leave it longer to bottle condition? (Law of Diminishing returns :rockin: )
Responses will be interesting
