too long in secondary?

[chetlemmons]

let me preface this by saying it's good to be back, been gone for a while...

so due to unexplainable circumstances (i had to out of town for a few months) i have an amber ale in secondary for close to 3 months now. i fear the worse. it was not a strong ale at all, maybe in the 5-6% range. have i screwed myself here or is there still room for salvation? i plan on bottling this week, if not tonight, tomorrow night...

it was a 5gal extract batch...
in primary for 11 days before racked to secondary...

It will probebly be your best beer to date. 3 months is no big deal. I have a stout that has been in the primary for 2 months, that I have just been to lazy to bottle, but it taste great.

[chetlemmons]

that makes me feel much better! thanks for the kind words!

That is one of the great things about this hobby, It forgives Laziness :mrgreen:

I am sure that it will be a great beer, let us know how it tastes.

good luck

I have gone about 6-7 months in a primary before with a blonde that I forgot about. Was great. As long as your sanitation is spot on you are fine.

It's gonna be great and you'll get some awesome clarity.I practically judge my beers by clarity over flavor....well that might be an overstatement but clarity is important to me.BTW i don't use any aids for clearing.

If it was going to be bad you would be know when you go to rack.

well, i was hoping to get to it a couple nights ago, but work has been kicking my ass, so hopefully this weekend i'll be able to do it to it. i will let ya'll know how it tastes! thanks again!
