I've done a few partial mashes so far but have done all in the primary just because I only had one carboy and I'd been reading that the secondary isn't necessary. This batch is the White House honey Ale it's been in the primary for five days now. Directions say to transfer to the secondary tonight but I still have very active fermentation going judging from the bubbling I see in the airlock. I've got an extra bucket now. Should I transfer now or wait till most of the bubbling subsides? I'm still at the stage where I'm trying to follow the directions pretty literally and since I haven't used a secondary yet, I'm just not getting it yet.
Follow up question too. I want to try washing yeast from this batch. Do I use yeast from the primary or secondary (assuming I use it).
Thx all!
