Hey guys. My friend and I have our first batch of brew (a nut brown ale) going in a store bought kit. We had it in the plastic primary bucket for 2 weeks and we racked it in a glass carboy today. We had planned on keeping it in the primary bucket and eliminating the carboy, but we were told that the brew should not be kept in the plastic bucket for more than 2 weeks. We would like to eliminate the secondary in the future as we've learned on this site that that is doable. So my question is...Can we use a carboy as a primary and just leave it in there and transfer from that to a bottling bucket when ready to bottle? Thanks
