So I have been thinking about home brewing for about a year now, and yesterday I finally broke down and bought a basic brewkit. After spending about 4 hours yesterday watching the dvd and pamphlet included in the kit, as well as reading a good chunk of the book "How To Brew" I feel I have an understanding of the process in my mind. Today I will give it a try and see how it goes. I do have a question though, when do I want to transfer the wort from the primary fermenter into the secondary carboy? My primary is just a basic 6.5 gallon bucket and I have a glass carboy. I am assuming it is after about 72 hours when the head has settled, but haven't seen anything definitive on it. Any help on this and any tips on helping with a ood first batch would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
