So last Friday I brewed NB's 115th Dream Imperial IPA. I pitched a 2 liter starter made with two packs of Wyeast 1056 into 5.5G of 1.089 wort. Bubbling has slowed drastically in the past couple of days, so I took a gravity reading last night out of curiosity (I know...I should be more patient) and it is already down to 1.010, so I guess there are no worries of a 'stuck' fermentation.
I'm heading out of town next Wednesday and will be gone until the 20th. Assuming I get some consistent gravity readings before I leave should I rack this to secondary, or am I going to be okay leaving it until I get back? Seems like I've read somewhere that high-gravity brew sitting on yeast for a long time can lead to off flavors. This recipe does not call for a dryhop.
Should I give this any extended time in primary/secondary or should I let it stay in bottles for a while?
When I do bottle, should I add some yeast?
Thanks!
