OK, So I brewed last Sunday and plan on brewing tomorrow. I have a pair of 3 gal better bottles and brew in 2.5 gal half batches. I currently have a cascade/willamette blonde ale in one and the other is empty. The general plan is to transfer the primary to the empty secondary and then either wash yeast from the primary and repitch or just pitch the next batch right on top.
The problem is the yeast has not dropped yet in the golden ale after 6 days. Am I safe to transfer to secondary or do I need to wait until the yeast falls? If I can transfer, do I just be careful not to siphon yeast over, or is it good to have some carryover?
Any ideas on a backup plan putting the new batch into the empty fermenter?
