I like to drink my stouts young - I've brewed the Guinness recipe from Graham Wheelers book on a Sunday, fermented for 4 days (Nottingham dried yeast), kegged on the Thursday evening, force carb overnight in a cornie, and drinking by Friday evening - lush :drink: :drink:

Timothy Taylor LL clone from GW's book was in the keg for a week, then polished off in a day by friends and family! Went down a treat.

Noop I like my beers in a bottle for a minimum of 6 weeks. Prior to that ferment for 7-10 and in secondary for 7-10 days.

My last bitter was distictly green for about 8 weeks which i didn't like. I don't mind fruit tones in my bitter but not apple :lol: :lol: .

In fact many of my beers take 6-8 months to drink and i am always convinced I should leave them for 6 months before I start drinking them. :thumb:

Thats the advantage of bottles :lol: :lol:

I find with really hoppy pale ales and IPAs that hop flavour and aroma drop off fairly quickly so I like to drink these within 4-6 weeks.

Ant the advantage of having a supply of bottles to drink. :)

Yeah, I find my pale ales and IPAs are in prime form about 2 to 6 weeks after bottling and start to go downhill from 2 months onwards. And that's on the whole range from 5 to 8% abv. The one thing you do have to make sure is that all the priming sugar has fermented.

admittedly my hoppy pales are best after a month, but I find they are still good after a year but just different
