fermentation ?

[morbid53]

Still on my first brew fermentation started very slowly almost 40 hours after pitching yeast then quite active for 8 days now very slow past 3 days my question is do I need to wait till it completly stops to transfer to my secondary or will it continue to ferment slowly

You could transfer it to the clearing tank now, since you've had three slow days. Ideally, you'd check the gravity three days in a row and then transfer.

You should transfer when the krausen drops. My last one was on primary for about 2 weeks before I transfered it.

Krausen droped still some apperent flocculation I may give it a few more days to settle. Still accepting any helpful input THANKS!!!!!!

I agree with david. Three days of steady hydrometer readings and you are good to rack it. I usually primary all my ales for a minimum of two weeks.
