2 months in the secondary?

[The Pol]

Hey, my oatmeal stout has been in the secondary for about 2 months, should I be worried at all? I am planning to bottle this coming weekend finally.

I left mine for 1.5 months and it turned out awesome.

don't worry about it. As long as you've kept out light and oxygen, and there's not a huge trub/yeast cake sitting in there, you should be fine.

I've kept lagers in for 100 days.

Sweet, yah it has been at about 65 degrees in the dark for 2 months, there is almost no trub or cake... it was in the primary for 2 weeks... it was pretty clean when it went in.

I had a problem with my latest oak-bourbon imperial stout. Zero carbonation and it sat in the secondary 6 weeks. I think dropping the temp over a few days settled out a lot of yeast. Keep your temp relatively steady and I bet you'll be ok.

My record for a stout was nearly 6 months. I had to add some dry yeast to mine at bottling, because I was worried their wouldn't be enough left to ferment the priming sugar. Otherwise, no problems, and it was definitely my best stout yet. I really think a long, volume conditioning period in the secondary is the way to go for stouts, porters, big IPA's, etc. Yours should be great.

My BeastII is still sitting in secondary for a couple of weeks now, going to keep it there for another couple of months! Was in primary for three months.

After my son was born, I didn't have time to rack and a beer sat in secondary for 4 months. Turned out fantastic.

keep the oxygen and the nasties out and your good to go. especially on those bigger beers.

There's nothing like the reward of waiting until it's done!!

(Isn't that what I say a lot?)
