Fermentation Question

I made an American IPA brew using: 9.9 lbs Light LME 2 oz UK Kent Goldings Whole Leaf hops (FWH) 1 oz UK Kent Goldings Whole Leaf hops (20 min) 1 oz UK Kent Goldings Whole Leaf hops (40 min) 1 oz UK Kent Goldings Whole Leaf hops (55 min) 1 oz UK Kent Goldings Whole Leaf hops (flame out) EasYeast American Ale yeast

I brought 6.5 gallons of water to boil; turned off the heat; added the LME and stirred like a madman then added the first 2 oz of hops. I then let it sit and steep for 15 min. I re-lit the burner andd restored the boil. After the hot break I started the 60 min count.

After 60 minutes I turned of the burner and added the last oz of hops, covered the pot and let it sit while I ate dinner. 55 minutes later I started the wort chiller (wort temp was still 95°). Starting gravity was

1.066 @ 66° I forgot to whirlpool when I racked to the primary ferment bucket. I didn't top off with water, so my final volume was about 4.5 gallons. The yeast was EasYeast American Ale yeast. Pitched and stirred/aerated like a madman.

This was all done on 23 September. I was going to rack to secondary, but I still have activity in the bubbler about every 15 seconds.

Finally my question: should I just rack to secondary and let it finish up there?

Thanks in advance! Tom

Give it a couple more days then check the gravity. What temp are you fermenting at?
