Hello,
I boiled my second batch, an American Pale Ale, about three weeks ago, left it in the primary fermenter for a week and then racked it to a secondary. The primary was pretty active for about three days and then slowed down. Now, nearly two weeks have passed, yet I can still see bubbles rising if I shine a light on the brew. The airlock bubbles only once a minute, if even that, but I'm just wondering if this is normal for a secondary fermentation?
The gravity reading is about 1.017, and it smells awesome, but should I wait for the bubbles to stop and the beer to clear before bottling?
