Techincally, yes, but we're talking ~3 months in primary before you need to worry.HughBrooks said:Can I wait too long?
I am new to this as well so take my answer with that in mind. From what I understand after 7 days or so check your gravity. Check again 2-3 days later. If your gravity is the same you are ok to move it to the secondary. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I am wrong.
the main reason I want to rack it is to put somthin else in my 6.5g carboy. I have a 5g glass carboy and a 5g better bottle too so much more room for secondary. Anyway, I should wait till fermentation is done before I rack to secondary? I have some directions that came with my LHBS recipe kit and it says if I am going to use a secondary that you should rack as soon as the airlock slows and MUST be done before fermentation ends. and it is in bold print that it must be done before it ends.
