It's been a long time since I've been on here but I'm glad to be back! I just recently brewed my first Belgian Tripel. It has been in the primary for about 9 days. Just to help in going to post the recipe:
Recipe:
12lbs Pilsner Malt
.5 Caravienne
.25 Aromatic Malt
WLP 500 yeast (2L yeast starter)
2lbs of Belgian light candi sugar
So after brewing I poured in the yeast starter. After about 5 hours I noticed movement in the airlock. Next morning I had to put a blow off tube on it. After about 3 days most of the activity slowed down. Note that we are on day 9 you can clearly see the sediment falling out of the beer.
So my question really is since it appears that the yeast have converted the sugars into alcohol and cleaned up after themselves should I rack into secondary now or wait another week or so and place it straight into the keg? Any advise on this would be much appreciated. I have pictures if you would like to see.
