I understand that secondary fermentation is not needed these days. The theory being that once fermentation is done the yeast will fall to trub and break down any off flavors that produced by the yeast(I think I understand that).
Once your FG has remained steady after multiple days(fermentation complete), is there a specific amount of time to let the beer sit in primary. I usually read "let it sit for a few weeks". Wondering if there is anything more specific than that.
Thanks

General rule of thumb is let it sit in Primary for 3 weeks and then bottle or keg.
