3 weeks in the primary works wonderful to me, I make it the same way every time and it produces a beer I like to drink so I just don't mess with the system.

Okay, I only did it because it was my very first homebrew and I wanted to be able to gauge the difference between doing a secondary or not. This next batch will be solely primary like you mentioned. The most difficult part for me was bottling and not because it a difficult process or anything. It just sucked doing it in my kitchen with no extra pair of hands. I need to work on my efficiency so I spill/waste less. And capping was tedious lol. Small price to pay for less than 50 cents a beer for something that tastes much better than keystone/old Milwaukee ( or anything else from the store at that price point )
