Okay, I got my 3rd brew going. It is an Oktoberfest - my first lager (extract). The original gravity was about 1.067. Fermentation was never really vigorous, but it did get going pretty good for a couple of days. After those couple of days, I have been getting airlock activity about once or so every 30-50 seconds for 1.5 weeks. Today is exactly two weeks of fermentation in the primary. I took a reading today and it was at 1.05. I forgot to warm it up to 60ish to get a more accurate reading (my fridge is set at 50). That reading seems high to me after 2 weeks. I know lagers can take longer to ferment, but I am worried about leaving it too long in the primary. I just can't see the hydrometer reading decreasing that much in a week. I've heard that after 3 weeks in the primary, off flavors can begin to creep in. They may have been for ales, though? Anyways, I'm open to suggestions on what I should do - especially if my hydrometer reading isn't where it needs to be in a week. Is it okay to leave longer in the primary? Should I transfer to secondary after a week regardless? If I do transfer, should I wait before really "lagering" (i.e., decreasing the temp in the fridge) so it can ferment some more? Thanks. I will try to RDWHAHB (a Toad Spit Stout - it is quite tasty).
