It was a bit premature fo me to state I will rack to secondary soon. After I posted this I did a bit more research on this site, also I placed my airlock back on as my krausen is now under control thanks to the blow off tube. And although I thought I wasnt getting anymore bubbles since I really couldnt see them in the blow off tube it's back to bubbling every few seconds again through the airlock so I know fermentation is not complete. I will continue to take SG readings starting again on Turkey day and once it hits 1.010 I will rack to the secondary. Thanks again for all the help and please keep it coming, I am already obsessed with this hobby now and am half way through the papazian book as well. needless to say I very much want this brew to come out great. I know it will be a huge step but I really want to do a Rogue Dead Guy clone for my next batch as I am hooked on that stuff. Think it is too big of a step for a beginner?
P.S. What sort of alcohol content can I expect from an initial SG of 1.038ish?
