May not have time to bottle. Too long in primary?

Lono · Nov 8, 2010

All,

My first batch will have been in the primary for 4 weeks tomorrow. I may not have time to bottle until this weekend. Will that be too long? Should I just bite the bullett and stay up late one night this week and bottle?

I just bottled a batch that sat for 5.5 months, and the beer is fine. So your will be too whatever you decide.

I typically leave my beers in the primary for a month, sometimes longer. You will be fine.

I go from 3-5 weeks depending on how soon I want to use the buckets.

Good for you. All that you've gone through glad to see you're getting back in to the swing of things! :rockin:

Count me as one more 'lazy bottler'. I recently bottled an IPA after six or seven weeks in primary, and it tastes good.

Six weeks. Finally bottled. I think you should bite the bigger bullet and give it another week.
