I'm novice. Been brewing a few months. I often secondary just because I like dry hopping and attempting more clarity that way. Whether that works (clarity) or not is up for debate, but I think it does.
Anyhow, when do you consider your ferment complete? I've heard "when your airlock slows" etc., but it's often hard to tell. Sometimes there is still a lot of activity in the carboy (swirling), but my airlock is slowing.
At what point can I feel is a good time to rack to my secondary?
Also, how many of you double-pitch if it's a beer over 1.060? I've been reading a lot about that (double pitching) lately.
Thanks,
Brad
Will always still be figuring it out.
