Making a Simcoe IPA with an OG of 1.066. Pitched a good 1098 slurry on June 2nd, with noticeable action after 18hrs. After 5 days of a healthy fermentation and still lots of airlock action, I racked to secondary (I had to leave town for 5 days and wasn't comfortable with it in the primary that long). The temp held at 18C until the 12th, with very healthy action in the airlock. I have just returned from another 5 day business trip and the airlock is STILL bubbling, though slowly (10-15seconds), but the temp has fallen to 15/16C so obviously things are winding down.
I'm thinking of racking again to get it off whatever has fallen out at this point. Suggestions? Has anyone had any experience with 15 days of fermentation?
