leaving wash on yeast bed

Post by cotton mouth Samson »

I was wondering how long you can leave a wash on its yeast bed after fermentation stops I am curious if it will cause any off flavors in the final run birdwatchers particularly my first wash finished about 2 weeks ago and I haven't been able to rack it off into another carboy but when it finished I moved it to the shop where it's been about 15 to 40degrees fer en height

Yeast autolysis won't kick in for at least 2 months. So a sugar wash would be safe, but depending on what else is in the wash may become an issue long term.
