I thought i was a mega homebrewer until i added up that i've done only 3 extract kits and put together 3 of my own extract recipies. what a looser. But i have been making a lot of wine over the last year...
anyway, needed to get back to the beer and wanted to step up to a minimash, unfortunately don't have time so i'm gonna be picking up a seasonal IPA kit that my local guy has. Making wine has taught me the lesson that procrastination isn't necessarily a bad thing and i wanted to extend my time periods with beer past that 6 day period to bottle that the kits usually give you.
After the initial week or two of the fermentation i was going to just take the primary and move it down to the basement, the basement is 55 degrees F, wanted to leave it for another week or two, i know my primary has a very tight seal so not worried about oxidation. This would basically extend my primary time to about and no longer than a month with two weeks being around the 55 degree mark before bottling. does anyone see any problems with this?
