Brewed this about three weeks ago and it's been in a carboy to primary and the beer is still, airlock is still, 2 distinct layers of sediment on the bottom, and there's still about an inch of krausen on the top. LHBS recommended racking to a secondary or clearing vessel for 2 or 3 more weeks saying if I leave it on the hops and trub, it could impart an off flavor. I used a nylon bag for the hops in the boil and strained the wort.
I haven't racked anything except an IPA to dry hop and a Christmas beer with fruit.
OG was about 1.061 or -62. I haven't checked the gravity yet. I was thinking it would be ready to bottle and I'd just siphon underneath the krausen.
This is my first Belgian. Any harm in just letting it sit like my other beers?
