Yeast taste if left too long?

[malex36]

I am a new brewer and decided to jump all in. I added 2 prehopped cans of Pils & 1 cup of dex to grow on for 5gal batch. I racked to primary this morning with a plan of having it there for 1 week then into the secondary for 4 to 5. I just got a call from work and i am to leave for Georgia monday. Will the beer take on the yeast taste if left in primary for 2 weeks? and if it sits there that long should i still use the secondary? I did plan to put some oak in at that time. thanks for the help.

I leave most of my ales in primary for 3 weeks and skip secondary. My beer is fantastic.
Go without any worries, just make sure you ferment no higher than 70F.

Longest primary I've done so far was 6 weeks, and I wouldn't be concerned to go longer than that. You'll be fine

If you want to oak it, wait until you return and use a secondary. I wouldn't try anything fancy for the first batch, though. With two pre-hopped cans, the beer will be on the bitter side anyway.
