3.5 week in FV

[PhilNotts]

due to unforeseen circumstances i haven't had the chance to transfer my stout in to a keg,will it still be ok now or am i wasting my time?

It'll be fine. I did this a few weeks back and it's now quite happily sat in a corny

It used to be thought that leaving your beer on the yeast cake that long ran the risk of autolysis in which dead yeast cells start to effect the beer with a rubbery, meaty taint. These days however, at our scale it is thought this is much more unlikely on a time scale like this.

Thank you for the replies. Walk go in the keg for definite tonight

I'm bottling a pale ale today that's been in the FV for three and a half weeks.

I left one 5 weeks once in the FV as I forgot about it! then I remembered about it but we were going away for 2 weeks! DO'H! Anyway I bottled it the week we got back and it was fine.. infact it was bloody gorgeous!

It turned out pretty good. I was trying out a new hop with this batch. The only complaint I have is it's still not as clear as I'd hoped, I used S-05 which can take a while to drop; I'm sure it will be right a couple of weeks after bottle conditioning.

Can't say I have ever left a beer longer then 3 weeks, mostly because I am super inpatient and want to be drinking the beer in less then a month if possible.
