I have the Northern Brewer’s Extract Dragon’s Silk Imperial Stout. It says to rack to secondary for at least three months. I am not sure why that is necessary - Not that I am going rogue, I just do not understand why pretty much everything is just about two weeks in it. I have heard that it should be in the secondary for 6 months. So, two questions…What is the purpose of a long secondary rest? And, can I bottle the beers and allow that resting tome to occur in the bottles instead of the fermenter (I am assuming not, or else that would be the suggestion in the recipe instructions).
