Greetings. I just brewed my first BIAB after several extract brews under my belt. Not intending to start yet another Primary/Secondary thread, but I hoping someone with experience with this yeast strain can help me out here. I made a 2.5 Gallon batch of Gingerbread Ale pitching 1728 into a 6 Gallon glass carboy. I have a 2.5 Gallon vessel I was intending to use as a secondary, but don't want to if I don't have to. I'm going to be away from my home in about 7 days and will be gone for 10 days. My plan was to keep in primary for 7 days, transfer to secondary for 14 days, bottle. The questions I have are:
1.) Will keeping the 2.5 G in a 6 Gallon carboy cause any problems if left in for 3 weeks?
2.) Will the 1728 yeast do well in Primary for that long?
Temp of room where fermenter is stored is about 66-68 F.
