I may have timed things out wrong with my brewing. I have an IPA in my primary fermenter that has been almost a week and is getting close to finished. The problem is, the only carboy I have for secondary fermenting is full with a brown ale and has only been there about a week.
My question is, what would be the best thing to do at this point? Should I leave the IPA in the primary longer and wait out the brown ale? Can I put the brown ale in the keg and let it sit another week or so? Should I move the brown ale to the keg and just start drinking it? I know I have heard that if you leave a beer in the primary for too long, it can start produce off flavors and I don't want to have that!
In the future, I plan on getting more primary and secondary fermenters, and then of course I will plan things a little better. But for now, I am not sure what the best move is. Any sugestions?
