ok heres the deal. Brewed an ipa 14 days ago pitched wyeast 1056. Fermentation took off in 6 hours. I ferment in a better bottle with a blow off tube. Had great active churning for 3 days after. After day 3 i get 1 bubble blowing out every 3 seconds and its been this way ever since. Usually after 2 weeks primary my beers start to clear,settle and fermentation winds down. But this beer still kinda looks like chocolate milk,there is still yeast churning and i still have 1/4" of foam on top. I havent taken a gravity reading yet because i planned on keeping it in primary for 3 weeks and dry hopping for another week. I dont like to open my fermenter too much for readings i just let it ride for 3 weeks then take a reading. My question is after 3 weeks and I still have this heavy activity should i take a reading or let it roll till it starts to clear and calm down more?? My post boil gravity was 1.058 and my fermentation temps have been between 60-68 degrees. Any thoughts??
