Hop bag burst

[jafski]

Hi all, help needed.

Was transferring from primary to bottling bucket, and noticed a lot of solids coming into the bottling bucket. :-(

I'd dry hopped with a couple of finishing hop sachets, one of which had burst.

Was using a syphon, hadn't muslined the end as wasn't expecting a problem.

So my problem is. I'd racked onto my priming solution, planning to let it settle for an hour before bottling. I can't see it settling out enough today, maybe have to leave until tomorrow.

So, my question is on priming, is it OK to rack onto priming solution for as much as a day before bottling? I know you should bottle ASAP.

Nothing I can do about it now, but hope!

Sure it will be. Just make sure you have an airlock on it. Keep it somewhere cool and it will delay the secondary fermentation.

Great, yes it's air tight with a airlock on, so should be OK. Cheers!

Update.

Had to go for it.

Hops were floating on top but...

Bottled today with some muslin over the end of the bottling stick to stop any solids going in, worked a treat. Got 21l out rather than the normal 22l so all in all happy. Last 4 litres were slow due to hoppage in the muslin.

Thanks for the reassurance Beercat!
