Hey-
I want to know if I need to use an airlock after racking my beer to a secondary. My beer has been sitting in the primary for over 2 months now. I am out of the country and a friend is doing my racking for me. He's not very experienced, so I was thinking that it would be easier if he didnt have to worry about sanitizing and fitting the airlock and could just seal the beasts. I've got quite a few airlocks and explaining it all is a little confusing. I know racking might stir up the yeast and give them a little life, but I wanted to know if I really needed to do this. Any thoughts and opinions would be great. Thanks.
