I am brewing a Blonde Belgian Ale I found at 7 Bridges Coop (http://www.breworganic.com/organicRichardsFarmhouseBlondeBelgianAleeasybrew.aspx). The directions say that fermentation should last 5-7 days, at which point you should rack to secondary or go ahead and bottle/keg. I am planning on racking to a secondary for a couple weeks. It has been 10 days since I pitched the yeast and its still bubbling at around 1 bubble per 3-4 seconds. I haven't taken a gravity reading since I pitched because I figured theres no way it could be done fermenting with the bubbles at this rate.
Should I wait until the bubbles have slowed and my gravity readings are consistent for two straight days before racking to my secondary? I'm just curious why mine is taking so much longer than the recipe recommends.
Thanks for any help!
