Well May 1st my LHBS is holding an unofficial beer contest for a gift certificate. I brewed an all grain American Pale Ale (or at least I think it is an American Style. I will post the recipe I used later -- this is only my sixth batch), and I just took a gravity ready, after six days, which is sitting at 1.026. It still has a layer of krausen covering the top, but I am wondering when I should rack to my secondary.
Should I wait till it finishes fermenting, or should I rack it now and let it finish fermenting in the secondary?
Grain
9lbs Pale Malt
8oz Crystal 20L
8oz Carapils
8oz Victory
Hops
1oz Columbus (30 min)
.5oz Fuggle (15 min)
.5oz Glacier (15 min)
.5oz Fuggle (Flameout)
.5oz Glacier (Flameout)
Yeast
2 WLP001 California Ale (no starter)
Brewed 3/10/2010
Pre-boil: 1.043
OG: 1.054
Current FG: 1.026 (as of 3/17/2010)
Est. FG: 1.012
Edit: The airlock is no longer bubbling
