brewing question

This question is often asked in these brewing NGs. The consensus seems to be: Don't worry. Some guys report leaving in primary as long as 6 weeks with no problem, altho that would be a little extreme. I would suggest up to 2 weeks or so should be fine. If you think it may be a lot longer before bottling, rack it to a glass 2ndary.

I think it's up to most people's personal choice.

I move beer out of the primary within a week. This way I don't get too much of a yeasty flavor.

As for having to bottle, I've stored beer in a very clean glass carboy for months, before bottleing. It was ok. I just don't like storing anything where the yeast layer is clearly visible. Once again, trying to prevent yeasty flavors.
