Hello all, I've been enjoying my 1st batch of homebrew while keeping an eye on my fermenting 2nd batch and had a question.
Beer style is what the recipe calls a dark strong Belgian ale.
OG was 1.070
White Labs Abbey Ale Yeast WLP530
Fermenter bucket sitting in water at about 66 F
Fermentation started between 30-40 hours after pitching.
Lots of percolation activity for about 3 days before slowing down
It's now been 2 weeks in the primary and still showing signs of fermentation. CO2 is still bubbling out of airlock but much slower than before. Not that I'm worried about my beer. I know those yeasties had a lot of work to do and need time to do their thing. My question is should I wait till the bubbling stops before racking to a secondary? I'm willing to wait, but I'm ready to start my 3rd batch to get a "pipeline" going and want my primary back.
