Secondary Bubbles

[Barramundi]

Hey guys , i brewed a kit about two and a bit weeks ago now , racked it about 8 days ago and havent had a chance to keg it yet , i noticed tonight that the airlock on the racking fermenter is bubbling veery slowly, is this a bad thing ??? havent had this before , mind you i dont normally leave them to rack for more than 4-5 days b4 i keg ...


should i be worried , will keg tomorrow afternoon anyway , just thought i throw the question out there ..

thanks ...

Taken hydrometer readings? Possibly the yeast went dormant in the primary and moving it to secondary woke up the yeast and wanted to keep going. You could end up with a sweet beer if theres still fermentable sugars in it. I wouldn't think it would blow the keg or anything.

i took hydro readings in the primary 3 days at 1010 so i transfered to rack , only thin i can think of is that i add 4 teaspoons of sugar with the finings perhaps its that fermenting ??

Add the finings and bottle after your usual racking period.

Should be sweet.

there's your answer!

worst case scenario, you keg it and it becomes a little over carbonated.

Personally I leave it in secondary for at least a week if not two before kegging to get the flavour all smoothed out. A little extra fermentation shouldn't be a problem, in your situation I would leave it for a couple more days then keg.
