I have a oatmeal stout fermenting now. Making tons of bubbles. I have a secondary fermentator and would like to try some 2nd with it. Add a flavor or just leave it alone?

I'd only rack a stout if you want to add flavor. I don't think there is any reason to try to clear it up.


There is some advantage to getting the beer off the dead yeast.

I think it would be interesting to take a 10-gallon batch, split it into two 5-gallon primaries and then rack one and not the other just to see how they differ in the end.

I think that depends on how long you are going before you bottle it. I doubt many people would notice if it's bottle as soon as fermentation is finished
