Thanks everyone. Checked it again this morning and gravity is still at 1.011, and the bubbles from the airlock have slowed to one every 45 seconds or so. I'll be racking it this afternoon and lowering the temperature to lager. Really appreciate all of the input... this place is great!

Awesome, thanks. This is my first Lager so I'm hoping to not screw it up too bad haha. I'll wait until tomorrow afternoon and then go ahead and rack & lager before heading to the airport. Appreciate it!

Long time reader, first time poster. Sorry it's a novel: I just recently did my first brew in about 10 years (partial-mash) and had a few issues during the process. I had only done a few extract recipes in the past with decent success (one failure due to poor sanitization), but I'm back at it...
