I recently moved my stout to secondary. Ever since I did, the airlock had picked up a ton, should I leave it in there until it slows down?
 
I would definitely wait until the airlock slowed down and then pull some gravity readings to see how far along it is.
 
Right on. When you say slow down, what kind of frequency are you talking?
 
To be honest I wait 2 weeks with the secondary. By then the airlock has stopped and then I check for gravity readings to see if everything is where it should be. If it is stable for 3 days then I bottle it.
 
Its just dissolved CO2 being released by racking it. Use gravity readings to determine when to bottle it.
