I know you old timers probably seen this ? a million times but I need to know. Everybody's got to start sometime right? For those of you who don't know me my name is Ben and I'm from the Tidewater area of Va and this definantely looks like the place to learn. It s 5:00 somewhere and that place is here all the time! Anyway, I saw a post that indicated you should ferment in your primary only. I'm brewing my first batch (oatmeal stout) and was planning on going 2ndary after a week and letting it set for 2 weeks or so in the secondary. Is this the correct thing to do or should I take a couple readings and make sure fermentation is complete beore stage 2? If so, what are the pro's/con's. Thanks fellow beer consumers.
