Hello All,
I'm about to join this hobby of homebrewing and have done alot of research. I'd like to brew all grain and have found alot of helpful information on the forums here and other sources as well. One subject that I have not seen covered too much is secondary fermentation. How long do you need to have your batch in the secondary fermenter, and is an airlock necessary for the secondary process. Is this where you add sugar to aid in carbonation, or do you not need to add any sugars because of the yeast? Also, after bottling how long should the beer be kept in a dark place before you can refrigerate and consume? I apologize if these questions have been asked before, but I did not find the info in the FAQ's or search portion of the website. Thanks in advance!
