So am looking for a little insight if anyone has any experience with this one.
It is my first extract of this kind, I have previously o.ly used the Mr. Beer line but am trying to branch out and grow to all grain.
I brewed this one and put it in the primary last wed. I had pretty steady activity from the blow off until sat it stopped all together. I watched it for 48 hours and still had no more activity. I then went ahead and siphoned it over to my secondary (carboy) and racked it on the oak chips and some makers 46 Monday night. I've been keeping a steady watch on it since and have seen some activity from blow off but not much.
I'm wondering if I racked it in the secondary too soon. Only 4 days. And how long should I secondary it before bottling? I hope I have not ruined the beer.
