I'm new to brewing and have a Festa Pale Ale in the primary fermenter (using a carboy as primary and not planning to move to a secondary). It's been in the primary for almost 2 weeks and I'm still seeing bubbling every ~40 seconds. After this amount of time is it normal to be this active still? We're thinking of kegging/bottling in a couple of days but I'm not sure if it's time yet.
Also, I have a question regarding kegging. I'm brewing with a buddy and we each have 20L kegs. Is it safe to fill a keg only half full? Or will the air that's trapped in with the beer affect it and potentially ruin it? If it's safe to go 1/2 full on a keg then I'd prefer it and avoid bottling.
Thanks for any help!
