I have a pretty strong Belgian Tripel nearing the point where I'll have to take action. I'm torn by what to do at the moment, so help a brother out. It's approaching week 4 in the primary, so should I just bottle it or transfer to secondary to let it age in bulk before bottling?
I can't see letting it sit in a secondary really achieving anything to be honest, but there's a lot of conflicting advice out there. Some advocate a long secondary of a couple of months minimum, whereas others just say to let it age in the bottle. If I do secondary, is it worth whacking 100g of DME in there to ensure that it purges the O2 while it's conditioning?
Give me some wise words.
