Hello,
i am working on my first batch of apple cider. its been in the primary for a week already and i plane to leave it in there for 2 more weeks before i rack it to the secondary. the only problem that i have is that I'm not quite sure exactly what racking entails. is it more that just siphoning off most of the liquid and leaving the sediments behind? do i have to run the liquid through a filter, or stir it before siphoning?
any idea of how i should tackle this is greatly appreciated.
