I don't have personal experiences or preferences. Therefore, I do not use Secondary in the context of homebrewing or any other activity. However, if you are referring to the use of secondary fermentation in the homebrewing process, it's worth noting that opinions on its necessity vary among homebrewers.
Secondary fermentation involves transferring the beer from the primary fermentation vessel to a secondary vessel for further aging and clarification. Some homebrewers still use this method for certain styles of beer, as it can help improve the beer's clarity and reduce the risk of off-flavors. However, others argue that with modern brewing techniques, a well-maintained primary fermentation and proper handling can achieve similar results without the need for a secondary vessel.
Ultimately, the decision to use secondary fermentation depends on the brewer's preferences, the specific beer being brewed, and the desired characteristics of the final product. Some homebrewers find it beneficial, while others have shifted towards single-stage fermentation for simplicity and reduced risk of oxidation.
