I have an oatmeal stout in my secondary that is scheduled for bottling Thursday, and I have a pumpkin ale in my primary that is suprisingly ready for secondary.
Think I should bottle early to make room in my secondary? Unfortunately, I dont have another secondary bottle. Definate reason to buy.
No need to rush it. It wont hurt the Pumpkin Ale to sit in seondary a little longer. Some guys here don't even use a secondary and their beer turns out great. I would just let it stay in primary until you have the secondary available.
ditto, don't worry about secondary. JZ has said a number of times he doesn't use secondary anymore, and he just finished a book on award winning recipes along with his latest achievement, Ninkasi. RDWHAHB!
