I brewed a Sierra Nevada Pale kinda clone 3 weeks ago.

fermented out fine, finished in primary at 1.015. I racked to secondary right before leaving town for a week for work. I came back to find a small krausen on top, primary'esque yeast buildup on the carboy sides, and airlock bubbles every 40 seconds or so. Steady.

I was only home for a short time before having to leave town again, and literally didnt have time to take a reading. Has anyone exerienced anything like this. Is it just the yeast SLOWLY finishing fermentation? I used 1087 that was 4th generation or so. Thoughts? Thanks!
