Hi
I'm brewing my first strong ale, a wee heavy. I decided to do a small batch of just 3 gallons and was hoping to have first tastings at Christmas.
I'm expecting to leave in the primary for about 3 to 4 weeks (or when done fermenting) then move to a secondary for about a month or 2, I'm considering adding some wood chips.
My questions are.
I only have a 5 gallon glass carboy is this to big for 3 gallons in secondary?
Can I bring the beer in the house once it is in the secondary (I want to free up freezer space). The house stays around 70 degrees, but may be some fluctuations in temp say between 65 to 73? Will this be a problem.
Thanks!!
