I'm in the middle of brewing my second batch. My first batch came out really great, although slightly over-carbonated. I think I didn't let it ferment long enough (12 days). I didn't transfer it to a secondary fermenter on my first batch, but I want to do it for this batch.
My second batch is a Scotch Ale, and it has been sitting in the primary fermenter for about 4 days. Violent krausen occurred in the first 2 days, but has subsided now. There are still bubbles in the airlock, but are about one-minute apart right now.
(1) When should I rack to my secondary fermenter, and (2) how long should I leave it in the secondary fermenter? (i would rather avoid taking hydrometer readings).
