Okay, I have decided. As an ale brewer I am forgoing the "secondary" or clearing vessel from now on! Lately most of my best beers have only been in one vessel and in for about 3 weeks at that. Which really is great on many levels... No more being bogged down in having to wait for a sceondary to free up (which lead to this revelation).
I think the results are excellent. I still get crystal clear beers (okay so the stout does not count), they taste much better, and one even one an award. Less time cleaning/ sanitizing/racking. I think I really can stand behind the theory that the yeast requires time to "clean-up" after the initial fermentation.
No more 1-2-3 for me. Just thought I would share my thoughts. Your results may vary...
