I plan on skipping the secondary fermenter for my current brew.
So my 5 gallon batch is in the primary. In a few days, It will be ready to bottle.
To avoid siphoning trub into the bottling bucket, I understand that I can move the fermenter to the bottling location ahead of time, so any trub or particulate can re-settle to the bottom.
My question is ...How far in advance should I move the fermenter to the bottling area? Does it need a couple hours or a couple days for stuff to resettle? I ferment in my basement, but bottle in the kitchen.
Thanks in advance.
current brew is an extract kit, 5 gallon batch, 1050 OG, 3 weeks primary.
