re: Homebrewing Thread: Volume II

So I brewed bugs hefe last week and everything went great. Hit the OG right on predicted. Fermentation took off like a rocket. It's day 6 and blowoff activity has slowed quite a bit. Took a gravity measurement and it's at 1.016 when predicted should be 1.012. I am going to do a secondary with the blood orange flesh. I have two questions.

Can I go ahead and rack to secondary even if it's not completely finished? It's got a few more points to go, but it's going to spend a couple weeks on oranges so it could maybe finish attenuation there. I'm working all day tomorrow so next opportunity for a reading will be Wednesday if I leave it in primary

Secondly, any harm in using a bottling bucket as a secondary? I am going to put the orange flesh in a mesh bag and I figure saving myself a transfer from secondary to bottling bucket might be a good idea.
