Dear Helpful Homebrew People,
Regarding siphoning...what's your philosophy when racking to secondary and racking to a bottling bucket (I assume they're different). At what point do you stop siphoning? When the slightest bit of solids are there, all the way down to the trub/yeast cake, somewhere in between?
I tend to mostly take pretty clear fluid when racking to a secondary and try to get almost no cloudiness when racking to a bottling bucket, but I'm wondering if I'm leaving behind too much, especially when racking to secondary. Thanks in advance for the thoughts.
