Hi all,
I need some advice.
Currently I have an all grain UK pale ale bubbling away nicely on it's primary fermentation.
The main problem I have, is in just over a week I'll be heading to work overseas and will be away for about 6 weeks.
I'm trying to decide what to do with the beer whilst I'm away.
I know theres mixed feelings about filtering, however i want to filter this batch (1 micron).
I'm wondering whether:
1- to transfer it to a standyby bucket, remove the trub and put it back into the fermenter (ss brewtech brew bucket (without trub drain valve)) for an extended secondary.
2- to transfer it to my Cornelius keg and leave it unfiltered until i return home to condition (what head pressure would you recommend to store this at?, I'm new to Cornelius kegs)
3- filter it into the Cornelius keg and leave it just with a storage pressure until i return and force carbonate when i return. Any recommendations on storage pressure? I wont be leaving the CO2 connected whilst I'm away.
Please let me know your thoughts, any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy
