Patience is a virtue... that I don't have. So maybe I've chosen a bad hobby. :cross:
Anyway, my primary is going to be freed up in a few days so I want to make another batch, but I'm going to be moving in a little over a month. If I started my next batch now I would have time to get it bottled before I move. I know that driving a primary or secondary 5 hours wouldn't be a good idea, but would the bottles be ok to make a 5 hour drive while they were still conditioning?
Can I make a new batch or would I likely ruin my beer?
Thanks!
PS - My first batch turned out great, I would attribute this to the fact that I brewed it at a friend's house where I couldn't be bothering it all the time. And there was almost five weeks between brewing day and bottling day, and another two weeks before I drank it, so it had plenty of time to ferment and condition.
