secondary fermentation

[sublimenal]

I am brewing with a kegging system, I'm just wondering the importance of secondary fermentation. Does it do anything else besides make the beer clear?

Thanks

That is about all it does. You might get a small amount of fermentation since the yeast have a chance of coming back into suspension with being racked, but mostly its just a place to clear the brew.

That's it, 99% of the time. I keg from the fermenter after 3-4 weeks.
