Is there a maximum amount of time for my secondary? Due to schedule problems, I'm not going to be able to bottle after 2 weeks.... Will probably be 3. Will that have any effect on the final beer?
Thanks,
Jimi

Oh, yeah. It'll be even clearer.

Seriously, you could leave the beer in their for weeks if not months without problems as long as you sanitation is up to par.

I go straight from the primary to keg and some of them have been on tap for 5-6 months without a problem.
