I brewed in August at my dad's place and haven't had a chance to get back there and bottle it. In fact, it looks like I wont have a chance to do so until November 19th. The brew is a pale ale (OG 1.040, missed my OG by over anticipating my grain absorption in my first BIAB attempt) that I fermented with rehydrated US-05 yeast. The bucket has been sitting in a fridge holding steady at 62. What are the chances this will still be a good batch of beer after a three month primary? Thank you.
 
Folks have left theirs in primary for upwards of a year. I've left to batches in for about 6 months each.... Many of us leave our beer's in for a month minimum. You'll be fine.
 
Thanks for the quick replies. I wasn't really concerned about it, but I wasn't sure if I would potentially have an autolysis issue or not.
