Has anybody here tried this? Throw away the kit directions and follow this procedure?
Start your kit the usual way but leave it in the primary for four weeks.
After 4 weeks, rack to carboy.
After 3 more weeks, rack, degas and add stabilizers flavor additives as per the instructions in your kit.
Wait another 2 weeks, rack once more and immediately bottle.
I'm trying this with my white zin and after two weeks in secondary it already looks very clear and tastes very good.
The old brew shop that I used to go to in Maine swears by it but I've never tried it until now.
I'll let you know.
(BTW, I posted this earlier but it didn't seem to post...if it's also in another place, my apologies.)
