I have two 6.5 gallon carboys in a swamp cooler for primary fermentation, these were put in there on the 4th with blow off tubes. I am still having activity and tomorrow is 7 days.
Because of my work schedule we usually brew/transfer/keg/bottle on saturdays. Is it bad to transfer to a secondary if there is still a lot (what defines a lot?) of activity in the primary? Is it best to leave this in the primary until next Saturday? 14 days days total.
This is an IPA, the OG was around 1.062 (if that matters to my question), WLP001 California Ale yeast starters were pitched at ~70F, the water in the swamp cooler is 69F.
Thanks Much!
