So I brewed my Double IPA recipe last thursday and vigorous fermentation began late that night. I had prepared a yeast starter. I'm currently brewing my Kolsch as we speak and I had intended to switch my Double IPA over to secondary. However, I just took at reading and it's at 1.032. OG was 1.078. I don't know the exact FG but it sure isn't in the 1.030's. Is it too soon to move it over to secondary? Bubbling fermentation more or less appeared to stop Christams Eve or so. I've never done a high alcohol beer before. I'm just worried that a. It could be a stuck fermentation or b. it's just too soon to move it to secondary. Temperatures have been remarkable constant at 69-70 degrees. Any thoughts? I have two of each fermenters so it's not a space problem. I still have lots of dry hopping to do and I want to make sure I don't start the secondary/dry hopping too soon.
