Unless you need the primary you don't need to rack cider. It can stay on the lees.
Never apologies for being wrong . Just kidding.Apologies in advance but I'm going to throw an alternate opinion at you regarding racking.
<snip> It is never easy to do things the right way.
Would you question or debate the racking advice given in a class like this? Cider-Academy
Yeah I was under the impression we were talking about racking cider.
You can have the last word on all that just as you did every other time I injected my opinion on the matter.
If the reason you rack is to clear up a primarry you obviously don't have enough equipment...

No, it just would have tasted better to you if you had waited longer. Get more going so you have a pipeline and dont need to drink the green stuff.
My first batch I didn't have a secondary. I bottled after four weeks. And you guys are really gonna laugh at this we finished the whole five gallons by week eight. Everyone who tried it loved it. But I'm sure by the standards I have seen here it most likely would have tasted like swill to you guys.
I have a 6 gallon carboy and a 7.5 gallon bucket on the way!!!
According to USP tracking in should be at my house when I get home.
:rockin:
I support your happiness, lol.
I do 2 weeks then rack to secondary. Another 2 to 3 weeks then bottling/drinking. Back sweeten at bottling.
