Secondary started fermentation after 2 weeks

[JerryHuscher]

HI all,

I am new to the forum. I just made an American Ale recently. The FG looked good when before I transferred to the car boy. That was 2 weeks ago. I went to start bottling but the air lock is bubbling like crazy and lots of foam on top.

Why would this happen and how much longer should I wait to bottle?

SG looked good according to the recipe or did you have successive SG readings over three to four days that were the same?

Leave it in the secondary for a week then take another SG reading.
