This is the process of siphoning off the liquid and leaving the grains and yeast in the bottom of your fermenter. I guess this is what your asking.
Hope this helps you out.

I think KS nailed it. Racking. It's just another word for transfering.

there is"clearing"or letting the solids settle to the bottom,then "racking" witch is explained above.most just do this once others do this several times. depending how clear you want the wash/mash.
