I had read that, however, I was going to dry hop about double what the clone recipe called for, so I thought I'd need to rack to do that. Am I wrong?

UPDATE: So I repitched Friday afternoon. The airlock happily bubbled through Sunday night. Monday afternoon, it looked like the aggressive bubbling had subsided. I agitated the fermenter by putting it on a baseball and spinning it for about 60 seconds. Bubbling resumed almost immediately...

That is sweet! :rockin: Link to come... (Nevermind... site is acting up on me.) Ended up toying with: 9.5 lbs Briess CBW Pilsen Light 1 lb Crystal 40L 1 lb CaraPils 3/4 lb Vienna 4 oz Corn Sugar (start of boil) HOPS: 90 min: 1 oz Amarillo, 1 oz Simcoe 30 min: 1 oz...
