I brewed a Pumpkin Ale yesterday. I usually let my wort settle out in a settling tank before racking to the fermenter to eliminate the trub. This brew had excessive trub and would not settle out. I racked it to the fermenter and pitched the yeast (S-04) last night. It is quite active this AM.
Some recipes say to rack it after 4 days to a secondary, then after 7 days rack to a tertiary. Is it necessary to get away from the trub or will it settle out through the normal fermentation process if I leave it in the primary for 14 days?
