I have been reading a lot of the posts on this board and many people have mentioned secondary fermentation and having a secondary fermenter. I am simply fermenting in a glass carboy and then once fermentation is complete I am going to bottle it and let it sit for about another 2-3 weeks (probably sneak one or two before that...). I just wanted to know what secondary fermentation is, how do I do it, and is my beer not going to be as good because I havent done secondary fermentation. Also, is there a special container to do secondary fermentation in or do you just use another carboy? Also when speaking of primary fermentation being finished I have heard people say then it is time to "rack" it. What does this term mean? Thanks again!
