Hey yall, this is my first post in a brew forum, so far I've brewed a pumpkin ale and tried to mimic the White House Honey ale with success. I am now doing a milk stout, first time using a brew kit from Brewer's Best. This ia only my 3rd brew so I'm def a newb. Anyways So I've had this milk stout in primary for a week now, was thinking of adding cacao nibs at some point but am wondering if its absolutely necessary to transfer to secondary? I've done a sec ferm for my last 2 brews but this time I did my primary in the glass carboy instead of starting in a bucket first to watch the ferm happen. It was very vigorous and I had to make a blow off tube before it got out of hand. So I guess my question is if I can leave it in the primary and just add cacao nibs with the yeast cake still at the bottom? Should I try to siphon that out? Or is it okay to just transfer the brew into a secondary which would have to be a bucket? Sry kind off rambled here but feedback is appreciated.
Cheers!
