I’ve done quite a few RIS brews now, and typically I can get them from around 1.120 down to 1.022 in 7-8 days. I pitch heaps of yeast, ferment cool and get a good fermentation.
I am curious how long everyone leaves their RIS sitting in primary. I always plan on 4 weeks, but usually get to the 3 week mark and think, well it’s been 2 weeks since it finished fermenting, so surely that’s enough cleanup time. I then do a low oxygen pressure transfer to keg and condition at 10C for 3 to 6 months.
