Question about when to transfer

[JillC25]

I am making a blueberry weizen- and the recipe I am following says leave in the primary for 2-3 days then rack onto puree in secondary. Is it ok to transfer beer after only 3 days in the primary? I am assuming it is ok since this is what the recipe calls for, but just wanted to check with you guys.


thanks!

As long as the Krausen has subsided, then you're good to go.

3-5 days is normal. Krausen settling as El mentioned is normally the trigger point. I have a Belgium Wit that after 7 days still had a fair amount resting on top. Decided to rack it to the secondary anyways and it started building up again in the secondary. Gravity at that time was 1.024 from a 1.050 OG. Not normal, but not worried either as its still fermenting. Probably the yeast strain (never used before) and/or my ferment temp was a wee bit too chilly.
