i have a belgian gold strong ale (OG 1.079) finishing up fermentation 1.008 in primary. i have moved it to a cooler part of my basement (64 F) as the yeast is highly active and im tryin to put the breaks on a bit. WLP 545 did the trick in about a week @70 F. i mashed 90 minutes @ 148.
i have read a lot recently about skipping the secondary transfer as it is no longer a necessity with current yeast strains. my question is: can i let this baby sit in the primary for a month or two and then transfer to bottles and let age for another 3 + months? is there any need to even put it in a secondary?
