Is three weeks on w1450 too long? I may not have an opportunity to rack for a few more days. |

I agree with Bill. I usually let that yeast go at least 3 weeks. Usually out of laziness! |

I just racked a barleywine from the primary to the keg this past weekend that I had brewed over the xmas break. No off flavors in the sample and should be drinkable once it's carbed. Though, it's going to get dry hopped first. |

I have read on this board that leaving the beer in the primary too long has some ill effect. Can't remember what. So, how long is too long? |

The ill effect as far as I can tell is no homebrew to drink. Done it a month and more no issues. For Ales my minimum is 2 weeks and for lagers it is 3 weeks.

Bierview, if you're thinking about yeast autolysis, that typically takes months to occur rather than weeks. RDWHAHB. |

Some of us (I guess me) newbies don't even know what the heck that means! 
I know it's prob something simple but beyond me! |

It's Charlie Papazian's mantra. He wrote "The Joy of Home Brewing". A good source to begin your brewing experience. |
