First Brew (help)

[Kenny S]

Hi there
My first brew has been in the FV for 9 days and has bottomed out at 1006 (which it says on the instructions).
I plan to put into a secondary FV tomorrow in order to try and get a clearer beer (Scottish Heavy).
Should I now let my brew (still in the primary) cool down before transferring and once in the secondary FV, do I leave that cool or with heat for 1 week before bottling.

Thanks for any advice given

Moving somewhere cooler will help it clear but most beers will clear OK in time.

I always just leave in the primary for 2 weeks then bottle or keg from there.i've never had a problem or an infection whether doing kits or ag brews. you can transfer to secondary and keep it at a lower temp to get it off the yeast and clear, its up to yourself, the less you mess about with your beer the less chance of infection.
