my return to homebrewing after 20 years, big kit brewer in the late eighties, nineties loved tinkering with my brews then, spent last 3-4 months 2014 buying equipment of ebay, my nice purchase was 2 17ltr glass carboys with bungs for £20 and a woodfordes wherry kit. added 17ltr of spring water and it fermented away transferred to secondry 5-6 days later, after 10 days transfered to demijohns with safety corks and cold crashed outside on patio, after a week brought back into house as didnt want to have it to clear as need to have some yeast to carbonate the brew in bottles,been sat in dining room now 2 weeks ready to bottle, how long can i keep the brew in this state, can i dry hop it before bottling, very impressed with the wherry that i put another brew on monday using a white labs cider yeast wlp775 and 500g hopped light spray malt,
in a 7 gallon batch, looking for taste,flavour than strength on this brew,how long can i store the wherry under these conditions, as a old hand at winemaking i was use to corking up demijohns and leaving for months to mature, so any pressure build up would be safely vented using these corks on homebrew. need your thoughts on this folks.
