Hey everyone. I was wondering what the shortest any of you let an imperial stout/Porter condition before consuming? In advance, I keg my beers so not concerned about bottle conditioning.
I tend to brew against tradition and tap most beers within two weeks, but those tend to be 5-7% abv beers and they almost always turn out nice. I just brewed a 1.093 imperial Porter today and don't feel like waiting 6 months. I pitched around 2pm and it had a healthy krausen within 4 hours and is fermenting strong 6 hours later (pitched a lot of fresh slurry and hit with a lot of pure O2).
What's the quickest you turned around such a beer and was successful? Or maybe you did this and ended up tapping jet fuel instead? Would love to hear your experiences!
