OK to leave in FV for cool third week?

[giddy-kipper]

Hi all,
I need to go away for a week and my FV has a kit bitter beer in it that I was going to bottle this weekend (after 14 days fermenting). The house will get quite cold, is it OK to leave the beer in the FV until I get back? Is there any difference in leaving it in the FV or in the bottle in a cold house? Thanks all for any replies.
Regards
Gidds

You will be fine to leave it and bottle when you get back. I often leave then in the FV for 3 or 4 weeks and they have all turned out fine.

If you have a spare fv transfer it off the trub and leave it in that for a week or 2.

It will be nice and clear by the time it comes to bottling too :thumb:

Thanks for replies bobsbeer and Will12283, I feel OK to now leave it in the FV for another week. Thanks for the advice about taking it off the trub, but haven't got a spare container at the moment. I really must invest in some more kit, although the Mrs is standing next to me with her arms crossed, tapping her foot! I need to work on her taste for home brew!
Regards to all,
Gidds

I was in the same boat till Christmas when I had some new kit :thumb:
I always leave my fv for 2 weeks before checking it so another week is fine.
Keeping swmbo sweet is always the way to go lol just hint that you can make her something she will like lol then it's sit back and hopev :pray:
