I just brewed a spiced holiday ale a day ago, and I think I may have sucked a lot of trub into the primary with my siphon.... would it be beneficial to rack it to a secondary after primary fermentation? It had an OG of 1.07 and fermentation has started pretty well at about 65 degrees. I'm really not sure how long the primary fermentation will last. I think i've got three options: leave it in the primary for a week or two (to clear and settle it?) after it's done with the primary fermentation then bottle it, or after its done with primary fermentation rack it into a secondary for a couple weeks for clarifying then bottle, or should I bottle it right after primary fermentation and let it hang out in bottles for a few weeks? I'm really confused on what exactly is the best scenario for the fermentation and clarifying process because it seems everyone has so many opinions... can anyone shed some good light on this? Thanks!!
