30 days - no problem.

I had a pale ale sitting in the garage for 6 weeks during the heat of summer, one of the best ones I ever made.

Very much depends what you are fermenting in. You must keep air out if it sits that long.

I ferment in the normal 32 liter plastic bucket, no sign of oxidation at all.

i got a 7,5% ale sitting on the trub in plastic at 2C. must be at least six weeks now. i'll bottle soon as i get the chance but last taster was absolutely fine so i'm not worried. another week won't hurt..

maybe if going over 2 months getting it into a glass secondary would be advisable but i don't think 30 days in primary is an issue so long as it's been well kept.
dazzled, doused in gin..

Forgot to post an update, but my beer turned out fine, so I need to buy a sniff'ometer with a cat piss and cheese marking as I clearly can't tell the difference. :)
