My first two attempts at TC have quietened down considerably and I am planning to transfer to a secondary demijohn on Saturday (two weeks after initial fermentation), how long should I leave it in secondary and when should I bottle it?
Cheers,
Another TC question!

Tried secondary and there seems no point. I've done 3 T.C.'s and it's better to bottle a.s.a.p. It will clear that much quicker in the bottle under pressure.
The brew I put into secondary just sat there and done nothing. When botteling I added a 1/4 teaspoon of glucose to each bottle and with in a week it was clear.
Looks good and tastes good.

Damn straight, I bottled my two gals today and I had a small sample of the one I made with Co-op's finest and it tasted very dry but great. Never thought that something this simple could taste so nice!jonnybeer wrote:Tried secondary and there seems no point. I've done 3 T.C.'s and it's better to bottle a.s.a.p.
