Sorry to keep asking silly questions, but I am still not completely clear as to when you rack to secondary.
The instructions that came with my kit just say to rack to secondary "after four or five days" and I was not clear on what Papazian's book is saying.
I hate to get into taking additional hydrometer readings, but other than that is there any official way to know when you are supposed to rack to secondary?
I have been fermenting a Pale Ale at 67 to 71 degrees for four days now. The bubbles in the airlock have gone from one per second during the first 24 hours to now about one every sixteen seconds.
