Due to an unfortunate accident, I have immediately switched to PET better bottles for fermentation. I figure these will be fine for the normal 2 week batches for oxygenation.
I currently have a Belgian Dubbel finishing up primary in my remaining glass carboy. I have 1 month left in secondary.
My question is whether I should leave it in the glass on the yeast cake for the next month, or should I rack off to the PET carboy for the remaining month?
I have been hearing that doing a secondary with today's yeast is not necessary, but this is the normal 2 week brew. Does this change with a 6 week batch? What is the limit when one needs to rack to a secondary to get off of the yeast cake?
Thanks!
