Do you need to boil the extract before adding to the Secondary to cut down on the chance of infection? I have never used and type of extract. Thanks in advance for the help.

I was thinking of moving it to the Secondary and letting it sit for 3 weeks with the hops. That way I can brew another batch this weekend. I only have one primary and 2 secondary's. I guess I might need to get another primary.

How Long woudl you wait for Clean up?
