Hey yall.
Ok I brewed a Two Hearted Ale PM clone 2 weeks ago and it's about time to dry hop.
I used to use a secondary for no other reason other than only having 1 primary and only room for one vessel in my temp controlled mini fridge. I would secondary in 5 gallon white home depot buckets. (Sue me)
Well I finally went out and got another fermentation bucket but I am still limited to one bucket in the chamber at a time.
I really don't want to rack to a secondary if I don't need to. Would leaving the beer in the primary, dry hopping, and moving the bucket out of the chamber to the room where the temps sometimes get as high as 80F be ok? I know in a secondary temp aren't a big factor, but what about in the primary sitting on the cake?
I should probably let it sit for another week before moving but I really want to brew again on saturday.
what do you guys think?
