    When to go from Primary to Secondary (If at all)

After a week a lot more yeast had dropped so I put it in the fridge (a trick some have told me gets better clarity) now it has been in there a...

    Spent Grains

    I give mine to a local farm. I have not worked it a trade but with brewing 5+ gallons a week I am hoping he offers. He is getting a lot of free feed from me. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Mr Beer - Read all about it and ask questions

    Beersmith. So I went to check the gravity and dropped a part into the carboy. Thankfully it had stopped off gassing so I racked it into another carboy for secondary fermentation. The gravity reading was 1.05. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    It is the Castle News Ale from beersmith. It has stopped off-gassing and I am going to take a gravity reading. I pitch it in Easter. I am thinking about racking it to a second carboy if the gravity does not change in 3 days, for a second fermentation. I have herd this will help the flavor and...
