Rack to secondary? Poll

[StevieDS]

This has been debated to death already but I'm just curious as to how many rack and how many just leave in the primary :

Currently depends whether I'm dry-hopping. I've counted that as option 3 above, though I'm taking advice and considering doing it all in the primary as a trial soon: lots of feedback recently on here about this!

I always use a secondary as I get a clearer drink in the end, but I'm still brewing kits maybe that has something to do with it.

I think everyone knows my opinion secondary everytime. :thumb:

 

[pittsy]

only if it's a lager or something light

 

[fermentall]

Primary for me even if dry hopping & never had a prob yet :pray: just good beers.

Never bother. Always crystal clear.

I've gone for option 3. I put my first into secondary and let it get very cold, it was slow to carbonate and had me worried for a while but produced a very satisfactory pint saying I brewed it to the instructions. I decided it was an unnecessary additional step and dispensed with it for my second, an absolutely blinding pint. My third was my first go at dry hopping and additional fermentables, it was a messier affair in the FV so I racked it through some old tights to a secondary for a week. Only just bottled yesterday so don't know whether its any good. I'm still very undecided what will become my normal practice but so long as it turns out to be a good pint it must have been right, yes?

I don't rack anything. Only times I've done it is for my ginger beer and my stout which had lactose in, on taking a reading and tasting it had a horrible taste. Racked it and now it's nice.

Pretty inconclusive so far, though I don't think 41 votes could be called statistically significant :wha:
