I've just finished fermenting my fourth beer and was about to transfer to secondary when I noticed something odd. It's been in the fermenter for almost 10 days now, and there was no airlock activity after the 4th or 5th day. I was opening the bucket to take a gravity reading before transferring when my eyes met a good 1 inch krausen (or at least I hope it's krausen, I've never seen any, just the tell-tale rings around my fermenter).
Is this normal? Should I just leave it in there for a while and see if it falls? Or can I go ahead and transfer anyway?
Another note: this was not a big beer. OG was 1.045 and I haven't taken a FG because of the fortress of krausen in the bucket.
