Hi there!
I have actually two beers in carboy (secondary) for which I have the same question:
Are they ready to rack (bottle)? (I will add both recipes to the post)
I have what I think may be an American Brown Ale and an American IPA.
Both were brewed on same day and 7 days later were put in a respective carboy for secondary.
10 days later (tonight) I checked the Gravity wondering if I could hope for racking.
ABA
OG 1054
1st 1018
2nd 1016
The air lock was no longer venting CO2, but after moving the carboy and measured gravity, it started to bubble again. In the beer sample, I could see bubble too.
IPA
OG 1063
1st 1022
2nd 1020

I think it's not ready to bottle, but it doesn't seem it will get to a much lower gravity anytime soon. Maybe it's ready to bottle?
What are your thoughts?
Thank you!
