Holy cow. It's on day 17 and still bubbling once ever 6 seconds. I'll have two beers brewed and carbonated by the time I rack this into a secondary LOL
1st Belgian - will it ever stop fermenting? LOL

They can be persistent little buggers - what's your fermentation temp?
and what yeast?

Pretty cool about 64 used Belgian Witbier Wyeast 3944
Pretty messy with the blow off!

Get it warmer, like around 68° - otherwise, you're not getting enough character out of the yeast. Usually takes around 21 days for me at that temperature with a healthy pitch.

If it has been going for 17 days at that temp I would go up to 75* if possible. Mine took about 20 days at 72* and I racked after 30. You won't get the alcohol flavors and want (I assume) some of the esters and fruit from a warmer ferment
Give that sucker a vigorous swirl every couple of days. You could raise the temp if you wanted. Did you use a starter? 1.071 is a pretty high OG.

Will do - I'll put the carboy into the carbonation room with the Pacific Jade Pale Ale and the Brown.
Yes - used a starter (always on everything).
Sorry - just completed it. First new label in a while - I've been brewing old favorites!!
