Ok, I've got my first brew under my belt and my Belgain Tripel has been in the primary since this past Sunday. Now, the confusing part. My kit says to move the beer to a secondary within 5-7..... or after the bubbling has stopped in the airlock for a period of 24hrs. In doing some online research however, it seems that may be too soon. My fermenting temp has been hovering around 70 degreees. Also, at the brewing class I attended our instructor said to forgo using a hydormeter for your first couple of brews in order to get more familar with the brewing part first. Hopefully this wasn't a mistake b/c I did not take a reading. I don't want to rush things and I'm thinking keeping it in the primary until next Sunday (2wks total) wouldn't hurt, but need some opinions from the seasoned brewers here. Thanks.
