OK to sit in primary another week?

LarryC · Oct 17, 2009

I have a pretty full schedule this weekend and it looks like bottling a batch of IPA I made 4 weeks ago isn't in the schedule. I don't see any harm in waiting another week to bottle this batch but I thought I'd ask the experts.

Is 5 weeks in primary and then into the bottle OK?

Yes it will be fine.......

You're fine. Most of the time the longer you leave it the better!

What he said. I only start to worry about my Primary after 6-7 Weeks has elapsed.

Thanks all! It's good to see everyone is up so early - must be a brew day! :tank:

It is a Brew Day, but it's going to be a late one as my Son has a Football Game and I won't be home until at the earliest, 2:30ish
