Can I press? Do I need to wait to .994? Waiting seems risky but it may also be risky to potentially separate from the yeast when I rack off gross lees in 2 days...
I press when I read .99, my reasoning is because when I put it in the carboys and have the air locks on I know the CO2 from the ending fermentation will displace the oxygen in the head space. I may be wrong but it works for me.
