How do you tell when the best time is to rack from primary to secondary and is it really necessary? This is for an IPA.
Checking the gravity 2-3 days apart and getting the same reading is the only way to know it is done.

How many people actually do this? I always use a secondary (for several reasons), and I generally rack at 2 weeks. I occasionally take a gravity reading the day before, but it is usually at the same time as I am transferring it. I don't remember an occasion when I have thought "Oh ****, I shouldn't have done it".
I am coming on 300 brews and I don't think I have ever taken 2 readings before racking.
