I just started my first batch on Friday night. It is a blonde ale kit from best brewers.
Primary fermentation has been going since Saturday and the bubbles in the air lock are beginning to slow. I have read that secondary fermentation is a good idea for taste and color. My questions are:
1) at what point would I want to move it to the carboy? when i know longer see an bubbles appearing?
2) how long should I leave it in the carboy before bottling? the instructions say 2 weeks but I have read quite a few different suggestions on the boards here.
Thanks for any help you can give "the new guy"
