Thread title says it all.
Currently fermenting about an 8.5% Russian Imp. Stout (1 week in), and I want to put it on some nibs for 2-3 weeks. Any reason I can't just add the nibs straight to the primary instead of racking to my secondary? I don't like using secondary unless absolutely necessary - which is almost never for me.
So I guess the responses I'm looking for aren't about the benefits of secondary fermentation in general. I know people have differing opinions on that.
I just mean specific to the nibs - what's the downside of just using them like I would my dry hops? I plan to keep this beer on the cake about 4-5 weeks total.
Thanks.
