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. hawk -- Richard E. Hawkins, Asst.
