Hey homebrewers-
I brewed this extraxt IPA on 5/16 and transfered to secondary on 5/31 after a couple SG readings at 1.024 (OG 1.076):
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/ipa-extract-50715/
I used Wyeast American Ale II but followed the recipe on all other points (well, except, I don't plan on keeping it in secondary for 6wks or bottle conditioning for 1 month.) My plan is to secondary for 3wks with the last week dry hopping with 1oz. Centennial then bottle coondition for another 2wks.
Anyway, my concern is that there is some very minor bubble action in 2ndry airlock (bubble every 65 seconds or so). I've searched the forums and surmised that there is some final fermenting going on or off-gassing. Should I be concerned at this point or wait it out? Did I transfer too soon? It tasted great when I sampled the SG I took on 5/31.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks
