I brewed a Bourbon Barrel Porter on 10/16 and put in the primary fermenter. Fermenation kicked off strong and lasted for 2 days and then went to about 1 or 2 bubbles a minute. After a 2 weeks I transferred to a glass carboy for finishing the fermentation. After a couple of days in the secondary the bubbles went up to 6-10 bubbles a minute and has continued for the last 4 weeks in the secondary.
My questions are:
-Is this normal for something to kick off again after transfer?
-How much longer should I wait before adding the Bourbon? I dont want to kill off any active yeast by adding the bourbon.
-Should I take a gravity reading and if its below a certain reading should I go ahead with the bourbon? What reading is considered okay to do this.
I welcome anymore advice you might have with this beer. This is the first time brewing a high gravity.
Thanks Mike
