I had to rack my APA I made in to a secondary as I got called back to work at short notice. It had been in the primary for 2 weeks and I had dry hoped it for 3 days then got the call from work and had no time to bottle it.
My question's are
1: I am stuck at work now for 6 weeks when I get back home will it still have enough yeast in suspension for it to carbonate properly ?
2: should I dry hop it again for a few days before bottling ?
I have it stored at 18 degrees C and there is about 3 inches of head space in the fermentor. If I had co2 to purge the oxygen I would but I do not.
Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated as I have never had to do this before and I am not sure if it is OK to leave a Pale Ale this long in the secondary.
Thanks.
