Time limit

[La brewski]

Is there any time limit on leaving your brew in primary was planning on bottling today but beers just not ready I have a busy week ahead of me so might have to leave it sit for Another week or possibly more can it get infected or any other damage

[irish_goat]

Nah it'll be fine for another week. Gives the yeast more time to condition the beer and more time for the yeast etc to settle and leave you with clearer beer.

[nigel_c]

A beer will only get infected if there is something in there from the start or you let something in while having a sneaky peek.
Keep it shut and it'll benefit from some extra conditioning time.

[La brewski]

Never had this before left in for a week more than instructions  say

[nigel_c]

What are we looking at there? Clear beer or foam out the top?

[LordEoin]

The only problem I see is a lack of keg!

[Slev]

I see the issue there. I find I nearly always have spillages too when i bottle horizontally. I've resorted to bottling vertically.

[La brewski]

The foam lads sry I never had it before only done a handful of kits but they seemed to be flat when bottled

[La brewski]

I'm worried they would turn explosive if I primed them with normal amount of sugar

Could the foam be as a result of air being drawn into your bottling wand/tubing possibly?
Did you use san star? (or any other foaming substance)
Did you taste the beer at bottling?

[TheSumOfAllBeers]

You can often get foaming if:
- the beer is a lot colder than the bottle as dissolved CO2 comes our of solution
- air is being drawn into the filling tube/lines, and foaming at the spring tip.
- co2 coming out of suspension in the filling tubes also

wouldnt worry about it

I did as I allways do nothing different just left it longer but I opened one at 5 days in bottle and it looks ok
