Hey HBT,
I brewed a Hugh gravity IPA, 1.074. Today is day 8 in the primary, I just took a gravity reading, and the beer is at 1.020, I was hoping to get down to 1.013-2. I am still getting some action in my airlock, about 12 bubbles per minute, however I do know that this isn't the most accurate way of measurement.
My question is should i be concerned with having the beer on they yeast cake for much longer? Will I start to get any off flavors?
And,
Should I rack to the secondary, and dry hop hoping that the he remaining yeast in suspension will drop a couple points. I have noticed the last couple times that I have dry hopped the yeast wake up a bit and drop the gravity a few points.
Thanks and any input helps
