Ok so I have read a lot of threads about secondaries and understand the pros and cons of using them but I still have a few questions. I brewed my first batch over the weekend and it started fermenting sometime that night so that is not an issue. I have one 6.5 gallon fermenter and two 5 gallon better bottles so I want to free up my fermenter for another batch, my reason for secondary. When should the beer be transferred to secondary? Should I wait until stable specific grav and then rack it or longer than that? Will there still be yeast in the beer to "clean up" and condition the beer in the secondary? Also is fermentation possible in 5 gallon bb with blowoff tube?
