The typical story about what to do a D-rest is: wait until fermentation is 75% done, then d-rest for 2-3 days, then rack to secondary.
But the general philosophy here is that your fermentation isn't done until you've got the same hydrometer reading 3 days apart.
So what do you usually do to decide when to rack to secondary? Does your d-rest end up being 2-3 days, then you take a hydro, then wait 3 more days, then another measurement, for 6 days of d-rest total before racking?
Thanks.
