Have got 17l of DrS'sGA sitting in my primary at the mo - my first AG BIAB. All seems to be going well after 11 days. Think we've hit final gravity of about 1006 from original of 1044. Tastes good to me to!
I've waxed and waned about racking to secondary but with only 17l in a 30l fermenter I'm worried about infection in secondary so have pretty much decided to leave it in the primary to finish. I posted a few days ago about not having any means of crash chilling and my only option to clear up the beer is just to leave it to settle as much as possible. My question is, is there any benefit in me carefully moving it 30cm into a (deep) sink and filling it with water, then adding a number of frozen 3l containers and rotating these to brng temp down. I'm under no illusion that I'll brng it down massively.....maybe a few degrees. Is it worth it or should I just leave it sitting on the bench in primary and wait another couple of weeks before bulk priming and bottling.
