Well, Brewing day went well, I had no issues and made sure I sanitized the bejeesus out of everything that touched the wort, including the fermenter. There was a foam forming last night, and there's already bubbling going on in the airlock as of this morning. I'm so excited. But now, if you don't mind, I've got a couple more questions for you.

1. The instructions I've read say to transfer the brew to a secondary fermenter after about a week, when the foam has receeded. Given that I only have one fermenter at this point, do I let it sit especially long in the primary fermenter, or transfer it to the bottles sooner?

2. Regarding the bottles I've been collecting, whats the best way to go about cleaning/sanitizing them?

Thanks.
