I have a tripel in my secondary, and I have some questions about timing and technique. It was a kit from Homebrew Adventures, but the kit didn't give any instructions on times. This tripel was my second batch.
It was in my primary for two weeks (1.078 - 1.019), and it has now been in my secondary for two weeks. There's quite a bit of sediment at the bottom of the carboy, and when I shine a flashlight through the glass I can see some minor bubbling.
How long should it sit in my secondary? (The temp is between 68-65 in my basement where the secondary is).
Will leaving it in the secondary for too long mean that I will have a hard time getting the bottles carbonated?
Once I've bottled, how long should I let those condition, and at what temp?
Any other thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for the help!
