I have a Brewers Best kit. It says in the instructions that you can rack to a secondary, but includes this warning: "When the fermentation slows (5-7 days), but before it completes, simply transfer the beer into the carboy and allow fermentation to finish in the ‘secondary’." The part about "before it completes" is bolded in the instructions. So my question is, why do they say to rack to a secondary "before it completes"? What would happen if I rack it to a secondary after it completes? Please don't tell me that I don't have to rack to a secondary -- I know that -- my question is simply why the warning?
