Racked and Waiting

Brewed Aug 1 and she went to town right away. Racked to secondary on Aug 9 the day before we went on vacation ... was bubbling every 9-10 sec. ... tasted great ... still sweet, but she has a long way to go. Got back 10 days later and was still at 9-10 sec. Another week and activity slowed practically to a stop but. Been in secondary about 19 days so far, but i plan on leaving in the secondary for another few weeks then bottle condition till Dec.
