Ok so my apfelwein has been in the primary for about 2 weeks now, and there is a massive amount of sludge on the bottom of the carboy. should i move it into a secondary, or is it ok to stay where it is for another couple of weeks?
 
From the sticky:


"It will become cloudy in a couple of days and remain so for a few weeks. In the 4th week, the yeast will begin to drop out and it will become clear. After at least 4 weeks, you can keg or bottle, but it is ok to leave it in the carboy for another month or so. Racking to a secondary is not necessary. It ferments out very dry (less than 0.999, see here)"
