You know the way the doctor does a C-section instead of waiting for the baby to arrive on its OWN schedule?
Just wondering if complications in my calendar would allow me to BOTTLE a little earlier than the recommended date? Kind of a C-section brew day!
Let's say my primary is still a little bit hazy.
Let's say I'm still getting a small bubble every couple of seconds out the fermentation lock.
Let's say my plan was to go straight from primary to the bottle.
Let's say I have to leave town for 4 or 5 days, unexpectedly.....which I do.
Any harm in dumping into the bottling bucket NOW......throwing in my cup of bottling sugar....going straight to the bottle and letting the remaining bit of primary sugar fight it out with the bottling dextrose as to "who tastes better".......and letting the whole thing clear up IN the bottle?
I've had an aggressive ferment in the primary for a week....and I would estimate that it's 95% done. I just can't wait any longer......UNLESS most of you would say the risk of bottling outweighs the risk of leaving it on the trub for three or four day longer than planned.
Thoughts? Thanks.
