Hi,
about four days ago I began fermenting beer using either Wyeast's Roselare or Lambic Blend. I will be leaving home for 4 months in five days time.
-Is it better to rack @ day 7 or 8 of primary fermentation, or would it be okay to leave the beer in the primary fermentor for 4 months?
-If it is better to rack ~ day 7, will the yeast cake still be suitable for a second generation of beer? I would like to rack new wort onto the yeast cakes.
-Would it be okay to leave the second generation of beer (unhopped) in primary for four months? Or would this be too long to sit on the yeast cake?
Both fermentations are going strong at day 4 and sediment has formed.
