Guess Who just became a fan of the Secondary!

Welcome to the fold! :rockin:

I secondary everything, even my weizens. I rack a little sediment/yeast back in at bottling/kegging just to make them slightly cloudy again.

I did not secondary a few (experiment), but did not like the results.

With 5-6 beers in the pipeline and a dozen or so aging it's easy to be patient. Being away fro home on business trips really help with the patience thing since I'm not there.

But I'm just saying....Time is of the essence.....Not to rush your beer, and that sometimes there is a place and time for a little gelatin.

And you'll probably change your mind a few more times as well in terms of techniques as you keep brewing. Time clears all beers; there are just ways of "tweaking" it a little.

Cheers!

Meh....Seems like you might have nailed it!

EH?

Then you likely shouldn't change your opinion of me. I is what I is.

Two weeks in the primary and straight to keg for me. I did once try the secondary and if anything it was less successful than just leaving it be in the primary. Clear beer is not a problem with just one phase in my experience. And all of this was achieved at room temperature, no pre-chilling on a blonde ale where it would be easy to see any 'haze'.

It can be done.
