Default the cost of not doing an additional racking

A couple of weeks ago, I asked about doing an extra racking after the
secondary, due to the large layer on the bottom.

I ended up not transferring. In hindsight, I should have. My
reasonaing was the huge airspace in the carboy . . .

Anyway, all but the last two bottles were fine (and the quarter bottle
left).

I ended up sitting them on the counter, full to the brim, covered with
aluminum foil. They took about a full week to transfer . . .

This time, I'm transferring after a week in the secondary. I'll
probably flood the next carboy with CO2 before racking.
