apfelwein bulk aging question

[brewdude76]

I recently made my second batch of apfelwein, this time with a few tweaks. I added some squirts of honey, I would guess less than 8 ounces, and used Lalvin ec-1118. I plan on reracking it after two months and bottle after 8 months. However, there is a decent amount of lees on the bottom after 4 weeks and I am tempted to do it now. I bottled the first batch after 2 months and there was a lot less. Should I just wait it out?

i waited 2 months for mine and it was crystal clear so i just bottled it.

You can always rack it at any time, but still leave it to age without bottling.
