I have a batch of Edwort's kolsch fermenting (since last Sunday) and the gravity is down to 1.020. I wanted to brew again tomorrow but I don't have any empty primary fermenters.
So what would be the downside of racking to secondary tomorrow morning before my brew session? Would it stall the fermentation? I'd think that the yeast in suspension would be enough to finish off the fermentation in the secondary, but I tasted the hydro sample and at 1.020, it's very sweet and I'd be disappointed if that's what the final product tasted like.
Opinions? I know I could push my brew session to next weekend, but I want to get my pipeline filled back up, so if possible, I definitely want to brew tomorrow.
Edit: I guess another solution would be to bring the beer out of the 64 degree basement upstairs where it is 75+, but I have a feeling that might lead to some off flavors.
