Our first batch is done fermenting and yes I know becuase I took a grav reading three days apart and it didn't move (FG is 1.016). Since our primary is our bottling bucket, (already got another primary so we don't have to do this again) we have to rack to a carboy anyway so we can clean the bucket.
So here's the two questions:
1. How long should it sit in the secondary? By the time we rack it, it will have been in the primary for 12 days. Also, should we cold crash it before racking back to the bottling bucket?
2. There are still some yeast rafts floating on top, what do we need to do to make sure they don't follow into the carboy?
Thanks for the help fellas!
