Ditto. I'd rather primary and secondary simultaneously, in the same vessel for two weeks.
My beer is in the primary a minimum of 2 weeks. Then it's racked to secondary for another 7 days so I can:
1) dry hop
2) wash the yeast in primary
3) use primary for my next batch
If none of these apply, I leave beer in primary for a total of 3 weeks then bottle.
Neither.
I'd rather primary for 10-14 days and then package. In my experience, most ales are done in a little less than two weeks, and unless you are doing something like oak aging or fruit then a secondary isn't really needed. If I want to condition my beer then I will do it cold and in a keg. The length of time will vary depending on the style
You do realize that a brite tank is used to carbonate beer?In my brewhouse, brite tanks are reserved only for additions, such as fruit, wood, etc., or lagering.
