Increased temperature or agitation will both increase off-gassing. Specific gravity is the only reliable method to measure fermentation progress. It might even be better to rack before it finishes fermentation so that CO2 production will naturally purge any headspace of oxygen. I typically bottle after 3-4 weeks in primary, skipping a "secondary". Cheers
