In between deployments to Afghanistan I brewed up an Oktoberfest and a batch of Apfelwein. I wont get back to the states until this summer and both batches are still in the primary. If I leave it as is that will leave both batches in the primary for 5+ months. The Oktoberfest is done with fermentation and has gone through a d-rest, it's lagering at 38 right now. My questions are:
1. Can I leave them as they are until I get back without any major flaws?
or
2. Should I give me girlfriend (not a brewer) instructions to transfer them to one of my free secondaries with the risk that she messes something up?
Seems like I'm between a rock and a hard place.
Thanks for your input
