I am making a second batch of the northern brewer's Cream Ale and want to avoid having so much yeast in my beer this time. The recipe calls for 2 weeks in primary and then bottle.
My question is, would it be ok for me to do 10 days primary and 1 week in secondary to clear things up a bit and remove some of the extra yeast? I know that secondarying is not required for most beers and the longer you leave it in secondary the better but I really want to avoid too much yeast in this batch. I am going out of town for 2 weeks so i am need to get this bottled before then, that is why I am only shooting for 1 week in secondary.
