So I had my I.P.A sitting in primary for 2 weeks in a 6 gallon glass carboy and then I switched it to a 5 gallon carboy. I lost so much liquid siphoning it... there was so much hop sediment/yeast that I just left all that thick hoppy liquid behind in the original... now I have maybe 3.5 gallons beer in a 5 gallon container.. I am going to dry hop with cascades as soon as fed ex gets here... Just want to know if all that empty head space is bad for the time being??? http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y258/weaselman311/carboy.jpg?t=1290533828
I hear just leave it in primary for 2 weeks or even longer... then I hear if you leave your basically fermented beer sitting on the yeast it will impart a yeasty flavor to the beer. I'm putting it in secondary to clarify and dry hop. Some one please tell me everything is gunna be allright and that my beer will be safe.
