Seeing bubbles in airlock after a month! What's happening?!?

[district_davis]

I was planning to bottle this beer assuming that it was long past fermentation but I see that the airlock it bubbling 2-3 times per minute. Here are the details:

- The beer is a big Imperial IPA that I brewed 32 days ago
- The yeast is WLP001
- I moved it to secondary after 6 days (26 days ago) because I needed the space more so than that it was definitely ready
- I dry hopped it 7 days ago, and it tasted good, looked good at the time


I haven't taken a gravity yet, but when I took it a week ago it was about where it should be. Thoughts? Should I be worried?

Off gassing of some excess co2. It happens often with atmospheric or temperature changes. Maybe it is from the added hops. There is no reason to worry. Unless you see any signs of infection.

If the gravity reading is stable and within range of expected it is simply off gassing for the reasons already stated. Package it.

Alll bubbles mean is that the pressure inside the fermenter is higher than the outside. I can be caused by a temp change, pressure change or a lot of other things.

Here watch this video. Is this one done yet?

It's infected. Send it to me a quickly as possible so that I can properly dispose of it.
