I started a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone recipe and the instructions from AHS say to move to a secondary after a week and add the final hops. I've read the threads on using a secondary and having read all the posts on the topic, I prefer to not use one (for now). But I was thinking that this might be a good reason. So my questions are:
- Is it a good practice to rack to secondary when a recipe calls for adding hops after a week or so?
- Would it be a good idea to use a hop sack? I think not due to wanting to keep things sanitary.
