Often when I rack or transfer from primary to secondary I get a layer
of fluffy 'lees' or straining bag escapees. Its fluffy stuff, not really solid, but it makes a deeper layer than I'd like at the bottom of the DJ. I usually make enough to have a pint left over and was considering trying to siphon hoover out some of this initial secondary fluffy stuff to replace with the clearer lquid from the pint excess while it is fresh. Then I imagined asking the group and in my imagination your Obi Wan style voices said 'think of the bottom-dwelling yeast Luke - and just rack it later'! I think you are right oh ghostly winemaking apparitions, but I wonder if anyone can confirm if this is what you really would say? Thanks, Jim |
