I brewed a chocolate milk stout for the first time a couple weeks ago. Pitched my yeast at 78 degrees (1L starter) and began primary fermentation at 65 degrees. OG was 1.062. Took about 36 hours before I started seeing activity in the airlock kept it about 64-68 degrees for two weeks and thought everything was fine. When I opened the primary to rack to secondary I noticed there hadn't been much of a krausen. Checked gravity it was still 1.040! Went ahead and racked to secondary and raised temp to 72 degrees. A second krausen appeared and airlock activity lasted almost a week and a sizeable yeast cake has formed at the bottom of the carboy. Should I rack it off again or just give it another week in the secondary?
