The OP:
"I have found that I have far less junk in the bottom of the bottle when I use a secondary between primary and bottling."
Why would you get off flavours from the trub at the homebrew scale and on typical brewing timelines?
What off flavours could possibly manifest at the homebrew scale in the first few weeks of sitting on the yeast/trub?
I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm an open-minded guy. I'm just saying, "show me some evidence." So far, I haven't seen any evidence at all, just a bunch of conjecture and dogma.
I don't think of them as "off flavors" but I do pick up certain flavors from a long primary.
Basic Brewing Radio did an experiment where brewers all brewed the same recipe. One group did a traditional primary/secondary. One group did a primary only but not a lengthy one, and one group did a longer primary.
All beers were noted to be a bit different. The interesting thing is that it was about equally split among which were preferred!
For me, I don't love the flavor imparted by the yeast in a long primary. Others will routinely go 3-4 weeks in primary, and love those results.
I think everyone should do an experiment for themselves. Make an identical batch and do a three way test just as above. Your preferences may surprise you!
For me, it's not an autolysis flavor that I pick up that I dislike. (That's pretty distinct, like "hot dogs" to me). It's excess yeast character/flavor.
