Hi all,
There seem to be lots of information about this out there, but I was hoping for some opinions straight from experienced brewers. I'm drinking my first homebrew (and it's awesome!), and I have my second in the fermentor at the moment. It's a Black Rock Nut Brown Ale LME kit which I tried to flavor up a bit with some steeping grains. I've got my third brew planned out and was hoping to brew in a couple days. My nut brown ale has been in the fermentor for two weeks and I was planning to leave it for three, but I want to free up the fermentor to get this other beer going. I'm debating whether I should move the nut brown ale to a secondary fermentor or just bottle it. I'm pretty sure it's reached FG but I'm going to check the reading again to be sure. Would there be any advantage to letting it condition for one more week in a secondary fermentor vs. finishing up in the bottles? Also, the secondary fermentor has no airlock, but I see no activity at all from the beer, so I was thinking it might be ok? Hope that's all clear. Thanks all!
