I'm brewing a Belgian Pale Ale on Monday (12). It's my first time and using BeerSmith has been of great help. These last few days have filled me with a whole lot of doubts though. After fermantation is done (2-3 days with the same FG value) I'm gonna drop temperature down to 10 ?C for maturation. On Beersmith it says under Carbonation and Storage tab that keg/bottling temperature is 21,1 ?C, carbonation used is about 175 g DME, aging time is 30 days and storage temperature is 18,3 ?C. Is 30 days the time I should leave the beer in the fermentation bucket maturing at 10 ?C or the time i should leave the bottled beer resting? If the latter, how long should I leave beer for during maturation?
