Scotch Ale timing in secondary

[dzachery]

I'm brewing a Dirty Bastard clone. Anyone know the timing for the secondary? How about how long it should stay in the bottle before drinking?

My timing for the secondary would be 0 because I would just leave it in the primary.

When I've made scottish ales (80/-) I use wyeast scottish ale yeast with a big starter and I ferment at 54F. I leave it in the primary for about 3 weeks and then transfer to kegs.

For bottling the basic rule of thumb is 21 days at 70F, longer for higher ABV beers or if the temp is lower than 70F.

Yep, no secondary needed. Bottle once your gravity is stable, and let 'er carb for 3-4 weeks in the bottles.
