I just checked my beer and I had planned on switching to secondary today (5 days in primary). Not a lot of krausen on top and my fg is at 1.030 right now (started at 1.050). Should I let it sit in primary for a little longer or will I be ok putting it in secondary?
Too early for 2nd ferm?

If you want to secondary (most people don't) wait until it finishes fermenting.

Let it sit until at least two weeks in primary before you transfer. Maybe even three.
Regardless, let your gravity get stable first - secondary is for clarifying, bulk aging, maybe adding fruit or the like. Fermentation should finish in primary.
