I am in the middle of my mash and I'm planning to rack last week's brew to a secondary during my boil so I can reclaim yeast from the yeast cake. The problem is, it's still fermenting rather actively. Bubbles in air lock are 3 seconds apart. Here's my question:
What are the odds of foaming over in a carboy at that rate? It's a very low gravity (OG*1.034) lager fermenting at 149°-150°.
I don't want to ruin it or make a mess, but I don't have yeast for this current brew otherwise.
The only other thing I considered is storing the new wart until fermentation slows and pitching yeast at that time.
