I have a Timmy Taylor's Best Bitter clone in primary fermentation. However next Saturday, I go away on vacation for two weeks (sort of an emergency to visit family in the UK).
I know that 8 days of primary fermentation may not be enough, but I was thinking that I would rack into a corny fitted with airlock and possibly do a secondary in my keezer.
What temp would be best for a secondary. I am using Safale s-04. My keezer sits at 54F, while my basement sits probably in the mid-60's. However, with summer on its way, the Denver area could see between the 40 and 80's for daytime highs.
Personally, I'd have thought that a fairly constant 54 for the secondary would be fine - BUT I maybe totally incorrect about this.
Any ideas?
