I'm a relative novice - six all grain brews under my belt. No disasters, yet. In my primary is an IPA brewed 17 days ago. 3 gallons in a 3 gallon carboy...so less than optimal head space. OG was 1.069, above my 1.065 target. Pitched a full tube of WLP 001. Observed fermentation activity was very vigorous for two weeks. Has now slowed down to a few bubbles per minute through the blow off tube.
My questions: 1. Should I now rack to a secondary or leave on trub? 2. If I leave on trub, bottle after three weeks or wait longer? 3. In any event, should I replace blow off tube with an airlock? I have previously done so after 3 or 4 days.
