Hi Bobby, anyway in which you want.
It's one of those things that people argue about, and some don't believe that it does anything.

Personally, I'm for it.

These days, I allow a brew to remain in the primary fermenter for like 2 weeks'ish, before tranferring into another 'clean' secondary fermenter by way of a 'clean' coiled down hose to prevent oxygenating the brew. There it will remain for at minimum another 2 weeks. I then bulk prime using another fermenter and I end up with a very clean beer.

Google more on it, there are so many techniques. If one works for you, then it's not incorrect.
