I brewed Midwest's Belgian Wit 12 days ago and it has been in the primary plastic fermenter the entire time. I pitched the Wyeast Belgian smack pack and it took off fairly quickly. Out of curiosity, I lifted the lid, peeked in and noticed a thick foam ring still on top. The reason I was curious was because I have had steady airlock activity this week, which I never had on my previous batches.
I was planning on bottling after 14 days in the primary, but I am now wondering what I should do. If I take the SG reading, and it is okay, should I rack out from underneath the krausen and bottle, or should I wait till it drops. Obviously, if the SG is still high I will let it sit. (I may have just answered my own question?)
