Today is two weeks since I brewed my NB Smashing Pumpkin Ale Extract Kit (my 2nd brew) and I was going to move it to my secondary but when I opened it up it looked like this 100MEDIA36IMAG0207.jpg activity in the airlock stopped a few days ago but I forgot to check the gravity of it so im assuming that there is fermentation still going on because it looks like this but wanted to get other opinons. Also, if it is still fermenting should i skip secondary and just leave it in the primary for an extra week and then just bottle?

Thanks in advance
 
If you are moving it to a secondary, it won't hurt if it still has some fermenting going on. After two weeks, it is mostly finished if not all finished unless you had it a real cold temps. It is when you bottle that you must be certain it has stopped or you get bottle bombs.
