Default secondary or not?? what??

Why does everyone say skip a secondary? Just leave it in the primary? What's the debate?

It has been debated back and forth that there is no real added benefit unless you're doing specific things with your brew or bulk aging it for a long time. Tons of threads about it.

This is the most discussed topic on here, it has been readily covered. I suggest you read THIS thread, it's become the "uber discussion" on this topic thread. Every discussion, question, answer, citation, etch is in that thread....

To Secondary or Not? John Palmer and Jamil Zainasheff Weigh In .

Many of us leave our beer in primary for a month minimum then bottle.....We find out beers to be clearer and better tasting.

I suggest you read that thread, and experiment for yourself, and make up your own mind.

There's thousands of threads where folks have ventured their opinions, and argued incessantly, but it ultimately comes down to what works for you......
