This beer has been in the primary for 7 days. I have to travel for two weeks.
Should I bottle or send to the secondary for two weeks?
Thanks

Now that I re-read... you are saying 3 weeks in primary and not 1 week primary and 2 weeks secondary?
I'll admit I've only read up to page 32 but I have a few questions/ideas and I wanted to get your thoughts on this.
1). I plan to brew this beer on Saturday and was thinking about making a yeast starter on Friday? What are your thoughts?
2). With all the comments about how crisp this brew is I was considering "dry hopping" in the secondary with a few peeled apples. In the hopes of getting a bit of an apple after taste. Just a hint. For a nice summer beer. Any thoughts?

My only concern is that I ended up with at 1.050 instead of the projected 1.039 (pre-boil gravity was 1.046)...is this going to be a problem?
You should be fine. Allow an extra 10-14 days of fermenting time in the primary. It will just be a bit bigger beer, but allowing it to ferment out thoroughly will still yield a nice clean tasting product.
I brewed up another batch two weeks ago, the stuff flies out of the kegs. Even got a neighbor who is going to buy me some more kegs so I can brew a batch for him to have at his daughters wedding

Anywho, I'm fairly new to AG brews, and was wondering if there's a specific temp/volume to sparge with here since the initial recipe just mentions mash temp.
Thanks!
I tried to find this answer in the thread, but it's pretty long and I couldn't find it. Does this beer need the unusual fermentation schedule? 4 days and then to the keg, then a a secondary fermentation at a higher temp?
