How long are you going to keep it conditioning? If you plan to bulk condition it for months, you might consider moving it to a carboy or keg after fermentation is done.

Or, if you are a bottler, you could just bottle it like you normally would and store the bottles in a cool place.

Nope. No reason to if you aren't adding anything after fermentation.

No reason to secondary unless you going for 6-8 weeks in primary. You could probably even go that long and have no issues.

No secondary required other than to free up your primary for another batch.
