I have an American Brown Ale that started at 1.050 and will finish around 1.013 (5 gal). It has been fermenting for 7 days at 67F. Please help me with my bottling plans.
I plan to:
- Rack to secondary and ferment an extra 7 days at 67F to finish and clear
- Transfer from secondary to bottling bucket after secondary and prime with 3oz. of corn sugar.
- Keep at room temperature (68-70F) for maturation (3 weeks).
- Drink!
Questions:
- Do you think racking to secondary is necessary?
- Do I keep the bottles at the same temperature as what the beer fermented at?
- Am I missing anything?
Thanks!
