Hi Guys,
Are there any beer brewers among you? I of course make make wine and have benefited from very good advice from members of this forum. I'm now making my own beer and wonder if beer can be racked to, say, a carboy and left for a few weeks without spoiling.
I barrel my beer - I don't bottle, but the basic procedure on the kit beers that I make is to ferment out in a pail, rack off leaving sediment behind- then transfer to a barrel. However, there will always be sediment left at the bottom of the barrel, and of course, the beer has been sitting on it. I wanted to rack a few times to a carboy so my end product is sediment free before barrelling. Any thoughts please.
