The directions for this batch said to rack it to a secondary if I had one. I've heard this is the preferable method both for final clarity and cleaner taste. It just doesn't say when to do it. Thanks for the quick replies. HBT is a wealth of info!!

I had the same problem on my electric stove. I put a lid on it but not completely covering it. Once it started to boil I removed the lid. My kit was a 2.5 gallon boil.

I brewed a batch seven days ago and my basement has been pretty consistent at 70-72f. My batch is American Light. It has been going crazy ever since I pitched the yeast. It had an OG the same as yours. I don't know why yours isn't showing signs of fermentation but I'm a beginner. I've read...
