New member, first batch, Muntons stout malt extract is in the 6 gal primary bucket with 2 lbs sugar and 3 piece air lock. Instructions mention 4 to 6 days fermentation then right to bottling with half teaspoon sugar per pint. An alternate method it mentions is two stage fermentation and transferring beer to secondary after two days to ensure as few dead yeast cells as possible. I can still use the airlock and the secondary will have the spigot for easier bottling. Is this a good idea?
I need to look on the site about siphons and racking tube (need to buy one) to transfer beer cause I'm guessing not to disturb anything thats settled to the bottom, or maybe someone can mention the best way to transfer to secondary. Thanks
