Hi,
I DID read the long sticky on Primary-to-Secondary. Thanks for everyone that posted. I would have added to that, but I didn't think my question or potential answers would benefit the thread.
I have two worts in primary and hope to get answers on both. If I need two posts, please let me know.
1) Belgium Wit: (Recipe follows)
9/21 Primary Start OG = 1.063 (Recipe called for 1.059 with BTP)
10/10 G = 1.013 (Recipe calls for fg of 1.015)
Still bubbling every 12 secs.
Primary in plastic pale, some bubbles on top no noticeable krausen.
I think I'm ready for secondary or maybe even bottling. Thoughts?
2) Coffee Stout (sweet stout style)
See https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/og-too-high-wrong-yeast-82371/ for recipe and problems.
Brewed 9/29 OG = 1.071 (recipe called for 1.058) (lots of mistakes here)
10/10 G = 1.030
Still bubbling every 28 seconds
Primary in plastic pale, noticeable krausen.
I stirred the bottom gently to stimulate the yeast. I don't think I'm done in primary.
Add yeast?
Just wait?
Thoughts?
I really appreciate everyone's input.
