Thanks for looking in,
I am near bottling my Stout, it is in the secondary (clearing and getting down to 1013-1020 at the moment. The sludge that was left behind (2" in the primary) is a good reason to want to use a 2ndary.
In the secondary I now have a good 1/2" of sludge in it. I do not want to mix in my priming sugar and expect that sediment to settle in a reasonable amount of time....(Unless you add priming sugar and leave it for at least over night before transferring to bottles....but I think it needs to go into the bottle right away)
Are you all using a 3rd bucket to bottle?
My Primary now has an IPA wort in it, the 2ndary is the one with a spigot...So using my Primary to transfer that Stout to, is not in the cards at the moment, due to the IPA.
I was going to transfer Stout back into boil kettle, clean out 2ndary, and then put Stout back in 2ndary to add prime sugar and bottle.
How are you all "chasing that sludge" out of your beer?
