So I am the process of brewing my first batch (Scotch Ale) and it has been 8 days in the primary. Need to check the SG again but I am planning on bottling tonight.
I just bought a standard kit (plastic bucket primary {that didn't seem to have a good seal since we never saw any activity in the airlock [ok, thats probably too many parentheses]}).
For our next batch do you guys suggest just buying a new primary (glass carboy) and then using the primary we have now for a secondary?
How many people use a secondary and are there that many advantages to make it worth it?
If you do use a secondary how long do you spend in the primary and how long in the secondary?
