Hi All -
When I make up our next batch I plan to giving this "racking" a go. I have some questions about the process though (previous brews have been made using a single fermenter ).
So - I know I basically need to transfer the contents of the primary fermenter into the secondary one (making sure it is sanitised etc before doing so) --- but I am unsure when to do this? Last time I asked about this I was told to rack at various times eg: 4 days after the primary ferment began - 7 days - at completion of primary ferment etc. More information on "when" to do it appreciated.
I'm assuming some fermentation does occur in the 2ndary ferment - so enough yeast (in theory I guess one cell is enough) - gets transferred between the two ferments.
Thanks for any help ,
