Based on thadass' post where he kept a beer in primary for 291 days, I was curious how long other's have kept beer in primary and then still drank it. And importantly, how did it turn out.
For me, it was 5 weeks. It was an imperial stout and we were going on a three week vacation, so I brewed it about 10 days before we left just to make sure fermentation was going okay and then left it in primary until we returned and then I transferred it to secondary a few days later and kept it in there for 5 more weeks. It's still young, so I've only had one, but it's great so far.
So what's yours?
