My first ever batch is fermenting away. I am at about T +36 hours and about 3 BPM. I am using the brewers best starter kit with a 5 gallon bottling bucket and a 6.5 gallon fermenting one.
Heres the question. When it is ready would it be a good idea or a bad idea to transfer the beer into the bottling bucket and leave it covered for a while whilst I clean and sanitize the primary and then rack it back in and leave it sit for secondary. The reason I am thinking of doing this is I got a good bit (maybe a 1/3 to half) break material in the fermenter and if I bottle it straight out of there it most likely will not be the clearest.
Thoughts?
