looking for input from those who secondary their beer. i am in the process of trying some with a secondary and some without to discover my preference. right now i have a IRISH STOUT that has been in the primary for 3.5 weeks. i was considering bottling it today unless for some reason the darker and bolder brews benefit from fermenting longer or use a secondary more than other styles. behind this one i have a ROBUST PORTER that has been in primary 2.5 weeks and will likely try a different approach with each batch.
i guess one of my big fears is that i will end up with A LOT of debris in my bottles if i dont use a secondary (dont you bottle right from the primary ? or do you risk contamination by transferring to a bottle bucket first to get rid of the debris ?)
