Open fermentation

[michaellindopp]

Hey all,
I've done about 15/20 brews now in my brewing life in just under 1 year. I'm doing my first hefeweizen now. I did a single decoction and I want to do an open fermentation. Is it better to move the brew to a secondary or just seal the lid on the fermenter when fermentation slows?
Thanks all for your help in advance.

Sealing the lid is fine (with an airlock for pressure release), if you can. You dont want to transfer actively fermenting beer if you can avoid it.
