Default Racking

Hi All

First batch. Started with home pressed apple juice.

Moved it from primary fermentation to a glass jug when SG was about 1.02.
Then moved it to another glass jug with it hit about 0.99.
Is clearing nicely.
Book we are following says to wait about 2 months, then rack again to
continue clearing.

Any benefit/detriment to doing it sooner?

It seemed to have a bit of yeasty smell when we moved it, and am
getting a nice coating of dead beasties on the bottom. So in my
inexperienced line of thinking; it would seem to me to rack sooner than
2 months to get it away from the yeasties.

What say you experienced folk?
Thanks
Mark
