2 weeks into 1st brew

[LI_Matt]

I started a Brewers Best Imperial Blonde Ale two weeks ago. Had an OG of 1.068 when I pitched the yeast on 1/4. Two weeks later, with still the occasional bubble in the airlock, my gravity is now at 1.014. What are my options at this point?
1. Rack to secondary.
2. Leave in primary.
3. Cold crash in primary.
4. Prepare to bottle soon.
5. All of the above??
Any input would be appreciated.

what was your target final gravity?

I am used to racking to the secondary. Others let it sit in the primary until week 3. I rack it before I bottle. I'd personally rack to secondary and bottle next week. How clear is it? Bottle condition for 2 weeks at 70 degrees F and then refrigerate for a week. It will hit the zone and you have your first beer. Congrats and welcome.

what was your target final gravity?

1.015 to 1.018.

Check the SG in another three days. If you reached FG, and the sample is clear, you can bottle whenever you have the time. There is no need to rush the bottling.

I would leave it in the primary for another week than bottle. My guess is the bubbles you are seeing at this point is suspended CO2 releasing from beer.

cold crash and bottle that nectar

If it's clear and gravity is stable over 2-3 days bottle it!

Not exactly clear, but I can read the hydrometer thru the beer in a test jar. Recipe said blonde, color is redder. Taste is like flat, warm Blue Point Toasted Lager. I don't have the ability to cool it below outdoor temps, but the garage should be around 40 for the next few days.
