I am fairly new to brewing, but, have a lot of wine making experience. I recently made back to back recipes of a Midwest Hop Cult and Flat Tire IPA's. Primaries sent well and both are at about 1.012 for a number of days. Primary was done in buckets with lids under airlocks. They were racked to secondary 5 gallon Better Bottle type carboys with airlocks. There is several inches of headspace in each carboy and am concerned that w/o any further fermentation, I could have issues as they age.
The Hop Cult needs to be dry hopped for one week after a 3 week aging period, the Flat Tire may be bottled as soon as it clears. Any issues with headspace and aging? The beer should clear prior to bottling, right?
Thanks for any direction, its appreciated.
