Hello-
I brewed an imperial pumpkin ale recently, weighing in at 9.3% ABV. In the secondary, I added 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 4 sticks cinnamon, 1 bourbon vanilla bean, and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice. 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice was also used in the boil. My question: how long should I keep this in secondary? It has been 10 days, and I have tasted it, and am very pleased with the results. Should I go longer? I'm a bit of a noobie, your help is appreciated.
