Ok so here's my dilemma ill start with the basics... I've got a mango pale ale in primary thats been fermenting for exactly a week. I will soon be racking it onto 4-5 lbs of mango in a secondary fermenter and will be leaving town on thursday for a week probably more like 10-12 days. So heres my dilemma what should I do?
A: rack onto mango tonight and let sit until thursday when I would then rack it to tertiary and let it clear for the week. My concern for this option being that maybe five days on the mango isnt enough time to get all the flavor.
B: Rack onto mango for the whole 10-12 days that I will be gone then rack when I return. My concern is this may be too much time on the fruit.
C: wait until I get back and rack onto mango for 7 days then into tertiary to clear. I really dont want to do this option because I would really like to free up my carboys for another batch as soon as I get back.
Thanks guys, your thoughts are appreciated
