IPA got slow start - keep in Primary???

[drudini11]

I started a batch of IPA back on the evening of December 21st. The temperature has been a bit colder in the house the last few weeks and the batch was maintaining a temp between 64-65 degrees. Fermentation was occurring albeit not aggressively. Anyways about 2 days ago the temp jumped a bit to 66-67 and the fermentation started going crazy......ended up blowing out the airlock and clogging it with kraeusen. I had an extra sanitized airlock handy and quickly replaced the dirty one with the sanitized one. Still seeing some good action today and it’s on day 18. Should I continue to let this sit in the primary or should I go ahead and move into the mini-kegs and let it finish fermenting in those? Not sure if there is a point where it can ferment too long in the primary.

It needs to ferment in the primary until it's finished fermenting. You'll know that via a gravity reading with your hydrometer.

What is your OG and current SG?

No, generally speaking, you can't leave it too long in the primary unless you take it to a real extreme, like months.
