As my example, I'd like to use a hoppy beer like an APA, or AIPA.
Assuming you plan on kegging your beer, then drawing beer into bottles...
How long before turn in would you want your APA to be sitting in the keg? I realize that the longer it is in the keg, the clearer it will be, but hop aroma/flavor can also wane. Should "peak flavor" be the prime consideration without regard for clarity??
