Is there any negative effects to leaving the pee on the lees for an extended period? I am at fg but do not have an empty fermenter to rack to. I do have another bucket but I am concerned the headspace may be an issue.
If you have just fine lees there should be no issue, but there is no reason why you could not rack to clean/sanitized bucket and then clean/sanitize the carboy you just emptied and simply return the contents of the bucket to your fresh carboy. I do it all the time and my wine is not harmed.
